Most of requests are allocated from an internal cache, so it's waste of time fully initialising them every time. Instead, let's pre-init some of the fields we can during initial allocation (e.g. kmalloc(), see io_alloc_req()) and keep them valid on request recycling. There are four of them in this patch: ->ctx is always stays the same ->link is NULL on free, it's an invariant ->result is not even needed to init, just a precaution ->async_data we now clean in io_dismantle_req() as it's likely to never be allocated.

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.
