Unfortunately this commit will be in the way of many bisections.

Real bug was added in

commit 5fc11eebb4a98df5324a4de369bb5ab7f0007ff7
Author: Christoph Hellwig <hch@....de>
Date:   Thu Dec 9 07:31:29 2021 +0100

    block: open code create_task_io_context in set_task_ioprio

    The flow in set_task_ioprio can be simplified by simply open coding
    create_task_io_context, which removes a refcount roundtrip on the I/O
    context.
