io_uring/io-wq: close io-wq full-stop gap



There is an old problem with io-wq cancellation where requests should be
killed and are in io-wq but are not discoverable, e.g. in @next_hashed
or @linked vars of io_worker_handle_work(). It adds some unreliability
to individual request canellation, but also may potentially get
__io_uring_cancel() stuck. For instance:

1) An __io_uring_cancel()'s cancellation round have not found any
   request but there are some as desribed.
2) __io_uring_cancel() goes to sleep
3) Then workers wake up and try to execute those hidden requests
   that happen to be unbound.

As we already cancel all requests of io-wq there, set IO_WQ_BIT_EXIT
in advance, so preventing 3) from executing unbound requests. The
workers will initially break looping because of getting a signal as they
are threads of the dying/exec()'ing user task.
