Jens Axboe c018db4a57 io_uring: drop ctx->uring_lock before flushing work item
Ammar reports that he's seeing a lockdep splat on running test/rsrc_tags
from the regression suite:

======================================================
WARNING: possible circular locking dependency detected
5.14.0-rc3-bluetea-test-00249-gc7d102232649 #5 Tainted: G           OE
------------------------------------------------------
kworker/2:4/2684 is trying to acquire lock:
ffff88814bb1c0a8 (&ctx->uring_lock){+.+.}-{3:3}, at: io_rsrc_put_work+0x13d/0x1a0

but task is already holding lock:
ffffc90001c6be70 ((work_completion)(&(&ctx->rsrc_put_work)->work)){+.+.}-{0:0}, at: process_one_work+0x1bc/0x530

which lock already depends on the new lock.

the existing dependency chain (in reverse order) is:

-> #1 ((work_completion)(&(&ctx->rsrc_put_work)->work)){+.+.}-{0:0}:
       __flush_work+0x31b/0x490

       kthread+0x135/0x160
       ret_from_fork+0x1f/0x30

other info that might help us debug this:

 Possible unsafe locking scenario:

       CPU0                    CPU1
       ----                    ----
  lock((work_completion)(&(&ctx->rsrc_put_work)->work));
                               lock(&ctx->uring_lock);
                               lock((work_completion)(&(&ctx->rsrc_put_work)->work));
  lock(&ctx->uring_lock);

 *** DEADLOCK ***

 ret_from_fork+0x1f/0x30

which is due to holding the ctx->uring_lock when flushing existing
pending work, while the pending work flushing may need to grab the uring
lock if we're using IOPOLL.

Fix this by dropping the uring_lock a bit earlier as part of the flush.

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.
