Subject: [PATCH 5.15 094/171] io_uring: ensure task_work gets run as part of cancelations

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

commit 78a780602075d8b00c98070fa26e389b3b3efa72 upstream.

If we successfully cancel a work item but that work item needs to be
processed through task_work, then we can be sleeping uninterruptibly
in io_uring_cancel_generic() and never process it. Hence we don't
make forward progress and we end up with an uninterruptible sleep
warning.

While in there, correct a comment that should be IFF, not IIF.
