Did you hit any problem? It sounds like it should be fine as is:

The trick is that it's only responsible to flush requests added
during execution of current call to tctx_task_work(), and those
naturally synchronised with the current task. All other potentially
enqueued requests will be of someone else's responsibility.

So, if nobody flushed requests, we're finely in-sync. If we see
0 there, but actually enqueued a request, it means someone
actually flushed it after the request had been added.

Probably, needs a more formal explanation with happens-before
and so.
I should put more detail in the commit message, the thing is:
say coml_nr > 0

  ctx_flush_and put                  other context
   if (compl_nr)                      get mutex
                                      coml_nr > 0
                                      do flush
                                          coml_nr = 0
                                      release mutex
        get mutex
           do flush (*)
        release mutex

in (*) place, we do a bunch of unnecessary works, moreover, we
call io_cqring_ev_posted() which I think we shouldn't.

FWIW, it came much earlier than this commit, IIRC
