io_uring: propagate array_index_nospec opcode into req->opcode
Commit 1e988c3fe126 ("io_uring: prevent opcode speculation") added array_index_nospec() to io_init_req(), but applied it only to a local opcode variable. req->opcode is initialized from sqe->opcode before the bounds check and remains the raw value. Keep req->opcode as the canonical opcode in io_init_req(): reject out-of-range values architecturally, then write the array_index_nospec() result back to req->opcode before any table lookup. This keeps downstream users of req->opcode from observing the raw user byte on a mispredicted path. No functional change: array_index_nospec() is a no-op for opcodes in [0, IORING_OP_LAST), and out-of-range opcodes are still rejected at the bounds check above the assignment.
