The liburing read-write test crashes with the strack trace below. The problem is NULL current->mm dereference in io_req_work_grab_env(). Sending this as RFC since I'm not sure about any personality implications of unconditionally using sqo_mm, and the proper way of failing the request if no valid mm is found.
