Any attempt to do path resolution on /proc/self from an async worker will yield -EOPNOTSUPP. We can safely do that resolution from the task itself, so retry it from there. Ideally io_uring would know this upfront and not have to go through the worker thread to find out, but that doesn't currently seem feasible.
