Thanks!

I didn't do that for the reason described in the commit message.
Philippe also mentioned that EINTR isn't listed on the io_uring_enter(2)
man page, although that is a bug because it does occur with
IORING_ENTER_GETEVENTS and min_complete > 0.

Feel free to send a separate patch.  It's probably not something that
needs to go into QEMU 5.0.
