io_uring/msg_ring: Pass custom flags to the cqe

This patch adds a new flag (IORING_MSG_RING_FLAGS_PASS) in the message
ring operations (IORING_OP_MSG_RING). This new flag enables the sender
to specify custom flags, which will be copied over to cqe->flags in the
receiving ring.  These custom flags should be specified using the
sqe->file_index field.

This mechanism provides additional flexibility when sending messages
between rings.
