Kernel panic – not syncing: panic_on_warn set …
This happens because the adding of task_work from io_ring_exit_work()
isn’t synchronized with canceling all work items from eg exec. The
execution of the two are ordered in that they are both run by the task
itself, but if io_tctx_exit_cb() is queued while we’re canceling all
work items off exec AND gets executed when the task exits to userspace
rather than in the main loop in io_uring_cancel_generic(), then we can
find current->io_uring == NULL and hit the above crash.
It’s safe to add this NULL check here, because the execution of the two
paths are done by the task itself.
