[PATCH][RFC] io_uring: Fix io_uring_mmu_get_unmapped_area() for IA-64

Message-ID <ZLhTuTPecx2fGuH1@p100>
The io_uring testcase is broken on IA-64 since commit d808459b2e31
("io_uring: Adjust mapping wrt architecture aliasing requirements").

The reason is, that this commit introduced an own architecture
independend get_unmapped_area() search algorithm which doesn't suite the
memory region requirements for IA-64.

To avoid similar problems in the future it's better to switch back to
the architecture-provided get_unmapped_area() function and adjust the
needed input parameters before the call.  Additionally
io_uring_mmu_get_unmapped_area() will now become easier to understand
and maintain.

This patch has been tested on physical IA-64 and PA-RISC machines,
without any failures in the io_uring testcases. On PA-RISC the
LTP mmmap testcases did not report any regressions either.

I don't expect issues for other architectures, but it would be nice if
this patch could be tested on other machines too.
