The reproducer is creating a thread, issuing a IOCB_CMD_PREAD from a
pipe in that thread, and then calling io_destroy from another thread.
Because there is no writer on the other end of the pipe, the read will
block.  Note that it also is not submitted asynchronously, as that's not
supported.

io_destroy is "hanging" because it's waiting for the read to finish.  If
the read thread is killed, cleanup happens as usual.  I'm not sure I
could classify this as a kernel bug.
