io_uring: fix mutex_unlock with unreferenced ctx
Callers of mutex_unlock() have to make sure that the mutex stays alive for the whole duration of the function call. For io_uring that means that the following pattern is not valid unless we ensure that the context outlives the mutex_unlock() call. mutex_lock(&ctx->uring_lock); req_put(req); // typically via io_req_task_submit() mutex_unlock(&ctx->uring_lock); Most contexts are fine: io-wq pins requests, syscalls hold the file, task works are taking ctx references and so on. However, the task work fallback path doesn't follow the rule.
