ublk: remove io_cmds list in ublk_queue



The current I/O dispatch mechanism - queueing I/O by adding it to the
io_cmds list (and poking task_work as needed), then dispatching it in
ublk server task context by reversing io_cmds and completing the
io_uring command associated to each one - was introduced by commit
7d4a9317 ("ublk_drv: don't forward io commands in reserve order")
to ensure that the ublk server received I/O in the same order that the
block layer submitted it to ublk_drv. This mechanism was only needed for
the "raw" task_work submission mechanism, since the io_uring task work
wrapper maintains FIFO ordering (using quite a similar mechanism in
fact). The "raw" task_work submission mechanism is no longer supported
in ublk_drv as of commit 29dc5d06 ("ublk: kill queuing request by
task_work_add"), so the explicit llist/reversal is no longer needed - it
just duplicates logic already present in the underlying io_uring APIs.
Remove it.
