Subject: [PATCH] io_uring: NULL-deref for IOSQE_{ASYNC,DRAIN}
Processing links, io_submit_sqe() prepares requests, drops sqes, and
passes them with sqe=NULL to io_queue_sqe(). There IOSQE_DRAIN and/or
IOSQE_ASYNC requests will go through the same prep, which doesn't expect
sqe=NULL and fail with NULL pointer deference.
Always do full prepare including io_alloc_async_ctx() for linked
requests, and then it can skip the second preparation.
