[PATCH 5.8 244/255] io_uring: dont use poll handler if file cant be nonblocking read/written

[ Upstream commit 9dab14b81807a40dab8e464ec87043935c562c2c ]

There's no point in using the poll handler if we can't do a nonblocking
IO attempt of the operation, since we'll need to go async anyway. In
fact this is actively harmful, as reading from eg pipes won't return 0
to indicate EOF.
