Ming Lei 704cced8ed io_uring: move local task_work in exit cancel loop
commit da579f05ef upstream.

With IORING_SETUP_DEFER_TASKRUN, task work is queued to ctx->work_llist
(local work) rather than the fallback list. During io_ring_exit_work(),
io_move_task_work_from_local() was called once before the cancel loop,
moving work from work_llist to fallback_llist.

However, task work can be added to work_llist during the cancel loop
itself. There are two cases:

1) io_kill_timeouts() is called from io_uring_try_cancel_requests() to
cancel pending timeouts, and it adds task work via io_req_queue_tw_complete()
for each cancelled timeout:

2) URING_CMD requests like ublk can be completed via
io_uring_cmd_complete_in_task() from ublk_queue_rq() during canceling,
given ublk request queue is only quiesced when canceling the 1st uring_cmd.

Since io_allowed_defer_tw_run() returns false in io_ring_exit_work()
(kworker != submitter_task), io_run_local_work() is never invoked,
and the work_llist entries are never processed. This causes
io_uring_try_cancel_requests() to loop indefinitely, resulting in
100% CPU usage in kworker threads.

Fix this by moving io_move_task_work_from_local() inside the cancel
loop, ensuring any work on work_llist is moved to fallback before
each cancel attempt.
