__io_req_task_submit() run by task_work can set mm and files, but io_sq_thread() in some cases, and because __io_sq_thread_acquire_mm() and __io_sq_thread_acquire_files() do a simple current->mm/files check it may end up submitting IO with mm/files of another task. We also need to drop it after in the end to drop potentially grabbed references to them.
