The fallback thing is called from a workqueue not the submitter task
context. See delayed_work and so.

Regarding locking, it touches struct io_submit_state, and it's protected by
->uring_lock. In particular we're interested in ->reqs and ->free_list.
FWIW, there is refurbishment going on around submit state, so if proves
useful the locking may change in coming months.

ctx_flush_and_put() could have been used, but simpler to hand code it
and avoid the (always messy) conditional ref grabbing and locking.
