Subject: [PATCH 5.18 0294/1095] io_uring: Dont require reinitable percpu_ref

From: Michal Koutný <mkoutny@...e.com>

[ Upstream commit 48904229928d941ce1db181b991948387ab463cd ]

The commit 8bb649ee1da3 ("io_uring: remove ring quiesce for
io_uring_register") removed the worklow relying on reinit/resurrection
of the percpu_ref, hence, initialization with that requested is a relic.

This is based on code review, this causes no real bug (and theoretically
can't). Technically it's a revert of commit 214828962dea ("io_uring:
initialize percpu refcounters using PERCU_REF_ALLOW_REINIT") but since
the flag omission is now justified, I'm not making this a revert.

Fixes: 8bb649ee1da3 ("io_uring: remove ring quiesce for io_uring_register")
