We defer file assignment to ensure that fixed files work with links between a direct accept/open and the links that follow it. But this has the side effect that normal file assignment is then not complete by the time that request submission has been done.

For deferred execution, if the file is a regular file, assign it when we do the async prep anyway.

This one should only go into 5.17-stable, not anything earlier.
