syzkaller identified KASAN: null-ptr-deref Write in io_uring_cancel_sqpoll on v5.12 io_uring_cancel_sqpoll is called by io_sq_thread before calling io_uring_alloc_task_context. This leads to current->io_uring being NULL. io_uring_cancel_sqpoll should not have to deal with threads where current->io_uring is NULL. In order to cast a wider safety net, perform input sanitisation directly in io_uring_cancel_sqpoll and return for NULL value of current->io_uring.
