io_uring/kbuf: add method for returning provided buffer ring head

The tail of the provided ring buffer is shared between the kernel and
the application, but the head is private to the kernel as the
application doesn't need to see it. However, this also prevents the
application from knowing how many buffers the kernel has consumed.
Usually this is fine, as the information is inherently racy in that
the kernel could be consuming buffers continually, but for cleanup
purposes it may be relevant to know how many buffers are still left
in the ring.

Add IORING_REGISTER_PBUF_STATUS which will return status for a given
provided buffer ring. Right now it just returns the head, but space
is reserved for more information later in, if needed.
