block/io_uring: clarify that short reads can happen
Jens Axboe has confirmed that short reads are rare but can happen:
https://lore.kernel.org/io-uring/YsU%2FCGkl9ZXUI+Tj@stefanha-x1.localdomain/T/#m729963dc577d709b709c191922e98ec79d7eef54
The luring_resubmit_short_read() comment claimed they were only due to a
specific io_uring bug that was fixed in Linux commit 9d93a3f5a0c
("io_uring: punt short reads to async context"), which is wrong.
Dominique Martinet found that a btrfs bug also causes short reads. There
may be more kernel code paths that result in short reads.
Let's consider short reads fair game.
