If the application passes in IORING_FILE_INDEX_ALLOC as the file_slot,
then that's a hint to allocate a fixed file descriptor rather than have
one be passed in directly.

This can be useful for having io_uring manage the direct descriptor space.

Normal open direct requests will complete with 0 for success, and < 0
in case of error. If io_uring is asked to allocated the direct descriptor,
then the direct descriptor is returned in case of success.
