Pavel Begunkov 521d6a737a io_uring: cancel sqpoll via task_work
1) The first problem is io_uring_cancel_sqpoll() ->
io_uring_cancel_task_requests() basically doing park(); park(); and so
hanging.

2) Another one is more subtle, when the master task is doing cancellations,
but SQPOLL task submits in-between the end of the cancellation but
before finish() requests taking a ref to the ctx, and so eternally
locking it up.

3) Yet another is a dying SQPOLL task doing io_uring_cancel_sqpoll() and
same io_uring_cancel_sqpoll() from the owner task, they race for
tctx->wait events. And there probably more of them.

Instead do SQPOLL cancellations from within SQPOLL task context via
task_work, see io_sqpoll_cancel_sync(). With that we don't need temporal
park()/unpark() during cancellation, which is ugly, subtle and anyway
doesn't allow to do io_run_task_work() properly.

io_uring_cancel_sqpoll() is called only from SQPOLL task context and
under sqd locking, so all parking is removed from there. And so,
io_sq_thread_[un]park() and io_sq_thread_stop() are not used now by
SQPOLL task, and that spare us from some headache.

Also remove ctx->sqd_list early to avoid 2). And kill tctx->sqpoll,
which is not used anymore.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
