It will get ugly pretty quickly, + this nesting of io-wq handlers
async_handler() -> io_close() is not great...

I'm more inclined to skip them in io_wqe_cancel_pending_work()
to not execute inline. That may need to do some waiting on the
async_cancel side though to not change the semantics. Can you
try out this direction?
