From: Pavel Begunkov <asml.silence@xxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 621fadc22365f3cf307bcd9048e3372e9ee9cdcc ] In rare cases a task may be exiting while io_ring_exit_work() trying to cancel/wait its requests. It's ok for __io_sq_thread_acquire_mm() because of SQPOLL check, but is not for __io_sq_thread_acquire_files(). Play safe and fail for both of them.
