Subject: [PATCH io_uring backport to 5.13.y] io_uring: Fix race condition
 when sqp thread goes to sleep

[ Upstream commit 997135017716 ("io_uring: Fix race condition when sqp thread goes to sleep") ]

If an asynchronous completion happens before the task is preparing
itself to wait and set its state to TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE, the completion
will not wake up the sqp thread.
