Subject: [PATCH] aio-posix: disable fdmon-io_uring when GSource is used

The glib event loop does not call fdmon_io_uring_wait() so fd handlers
waiting to be submitted build up in the list. There is no benefit is
using io_uring when the glib GSource is being used, so disable it
instead of implementing a more complex fix.

This fixes a memory leak where AioHandlers would build up and increasing
amounts of CPU time were spent iterating them in aio_pending(). The
symptom is that guests become slow when QEMU is built with io_uring
support.

Fixes: 73fd282e7b6dd4e4ea1c3bbb3d302c8db51e4ccf ("aio-posix: add io_uring fd monitoring implementation")
