I agree with Vegard that I don't think this is fixing the core of
the issue. I think what is happening here is that we don't run the
task_work in io_uring_cancel_generic() unconditionally, if we don't
need to in the loop above. But we do need to ensure we run it before
we clear current->io_uring.

Do you have a reproducer? If so, can you try the below? I _think_
this is all we need. We can't be hitting the delayed fput path as
the task isn't exiting, and we're dealing with current here.
