gsource_check() only looks at the ppoll revents for the io_uring fd,
but CQEs can be posted during gsource_prepare()'s io_uring_submit()
call via kernel task_work processing on syscall exit. These completions
are already sitting in the CQ ring but the ring fd may not be signaled
yet, causing gsource_check() to return false.

Add a fallback io_uring_cq_ready() check so completions that arrive
during submission are dispatched immediately rather than waiting for
the next ppoll() cycle.
