eventfd is using ->read() as it's file_operations read handler, but this prevents passing in information about whether a given IO operation is blocking or not. We can only use the file flags for that. To support async (-EAGAIN/poll based) retries for io_uring, we need ->read_iter() support. Convert eventfd to using ->read_iter(). With ->read_iter(), we can support IOCB_NOWAIT. Ensure the fd setup is done such that we set file->f_mode with FMODE_NOWAIT.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
