In ublk_queue_rq(), Assume current request is a re-issued request aborted previously in monitor_work because the ubq_daemon(ioucmd's task) is PF_EXITING. For this request, we cannot call io_uring_cmd_complete_in_task() anymore because at that moment io_uring context may be freed in case that no inflight ioucmd exists. Otherwise, we may cause null-deref in ctx->fallback_work. Add a check on UBLK_IO_FLAG_ABORTED to prevent the above situation. This check is safe and makes sense. Note: monitor_work sets UBLK_IO_FLAG_ABORTED and ends this request (releasing the tag). Then the request is restarted(allocating the tag) and we are here. Since releasing/allocating a tag implies smp_mb(), finding UBLK_IO_FLAG_ABORTED guarantees that here is a re-issued request aborted previously.
