Don't set IO_SQ_THREAD_SHOULD_STOP when io_sq_offload_create() has failed on io_uring_alloc_task_context() but leave everything to io_sq_thread_finish(), because currently io_sq_thread_finish() hangs on trying to park it. That's great it stalls there, because otherwise the following io_sq_thread_stop() would be skipped on IO_SQ_THREAD_SHOULD_STOP check and the sqo would race for sqd with freeing ctx. A simple error injection gives something like this. [ 245.463955] INFO: task sqpoll-test-hang:523 blocked for more than 122 seconds.
