To better match bdev modules like nvme, complete requests
for the bdev/null driver asynchronously. This will be
done by allocating IO channels that register a poller
and keep a TAILQ of bdev IO to be completed next time
the poller runs.
This is actually more efficient as well, since completing
I/O in submit_request context defers the completion using
an event. A benchmark of bdevperf with split running on
top of null module shows this patch increases throughput
20%.
