Subject: [PATCH 5.15 169/177] io-wq: drop wqe lock before creating new worker

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

commit d800c65c2d4eccebb27ffb7808e842d5b533823c upstream.

We have two io-wq creation paths:

- On queue enqueue
- When a worker goes to sleep

The latter invokes worker creation with the wqe->lock held, but that can
run into problems if we end up exiting and need to cancel the queued work.
syzbot caught this:

============================================
WARNING: possible recursive locking detected
5.16.0-rc4-syzkaller #0 Not tainted
--------------------------------------------
iou-wrk-6468/6471 is trying to acquire lock:
ffff88801aa98018 (&wqe->lock){+.+.}-{2:2}, at: io_worker_cancel_cb+0xb7/0x210 fs/io-wq.c:187

but task is already holding lock:
ffff88801aa98018 (&wqe->lock){+.+.}-{2:2}, at: io_wq_worker_sleeping+0xb6/0x140 fs/io-wq.c:700

other info that might help us debug this:
 Possible unsafe locking scenario:

       CPU0
       ----
  lock(&wqe->lock);
  lock(&wqe->lock);

 *** DEADLOCK ***

 May be due to missing lock nesting notation

1 lock held by iou-wrk-6468/6471:
 #0: ffff88801aa98018 (&wqe->lock){+.+.}-{2:2}, at: io_wq_worker_sleeping+0xb6/0x140 fs/io-wq.c:700

We can safely drop the lock before doing work creation, making the two
contexts the same in that regard.
