As recently documented [1], io_uring_enter(2) syscall can return an
error (errno=EINTR) if the operation was interrupted by a delivery
of a signal before it could complete.

This should happen when IORING_ENTER_GETEVENTS flag is used, for
example during io_uring_submit_and_wait() or during io_uring_submit()
when IORING_SETUP_IOPOLL is enabled.

We shouldn't have this problem for now, but it's better to prevent it.
