    io_uring/io-wq: close io-wq full-stop gap · 17a91051

    There is an old problem with io-wq cancellation where requests should be
    killed and are in io-wq but are not discoverable, e.g. in @next_hashed
    or @linked vars of io_worker_handle_work(). It adds some unreliability
    to individual request canellation, but also may potentially get
    __io_uring_cancel() stuck. For instance:
    
    1) An __io_uring_cancel()'s cancellation round have not found any
       request but there are some as desribed.
    2) __io_uring_cancel() goes to sleep
    3) Then workers wake up and try to execute those hidden requests
       that happen to be unbound.
    
    As we already cancel all requests of io-wq there, set IO_WQ_BIT_EXIT
    in advance, so preventing 3) from executing unbound requests. The
    workers will initially break looping because of getting a signal as they
    are threads of the dying/exec()'ing user task.
