[  605.214151] =============================================

I believe this is caused by the follow race:

(ctx_list is empty now)
=> io_put_sq_data               |
==> kthread_park(sqd->thread);  |
====> set KTHREAD_SHOULD_PARK	|
====> wake_up_process(k)        | sq thread is running
				|
				|
				| needs_sched is true since no ctx,
				| so TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE set and schedule
				| out then never wake up again
				|
====> wait_for_completion	|
	(stuck here)

So check if sqthread gets park flag right before schedule().
since ctx_list is always empty when this problem happens, here I put
kthread_should_park() before setting the wakeup flag(ctx_list is empty
so this for loop is fast), where is close enough to schedule(). The
problem doesn't show again in my repro testing after this fix.
