Subject: [PATCH 5.8 05/70] io_uring: stash ctx task reference for SQPOLL

From: Jens Axboe <axboe@...nel.dk>

commit 2aede0e417db846793c276c7a1bbf7262c8349b0 upstream.

We can grab a reference to the task instead of stashing away the task
files_struct. This is doable without creating a circular reference
between the ring fd and the task itself.
