From: Pavel Begunkov <asml.silence@xxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 9cd2be519d05ee78876d55e8e902b7125f78b74f ] list_empty_careful() is not racy only if some conditions are met, i.e. no re-adds after del_init. io_cqring_overflow_flush() does list_move(), so it's actually racy. Remove those checks, we have ->cq_check_overflow for the fast path.
