If we successfully cancel a work item but that work item needs to be
processed through task_work, then we can be sleeping uninterruptibly
in io_uring_cancel_generic() and never process it. Hence we don't
make forward progress and we end up with an uninterruptible sleep
warning.
Add the waitqueue earlier to ensure that any wakeups from cancelations
are seen, and switch to using uninterruptible sleep so that postponed
task_work additions get seen and processed.
While in there, correct a comment that should be IFF, not IIF.

v2 - don't move prepare_to_wait(), it'll run into issues with locking
etc, and we don't need to as the inflight tracking guards against
missing a wakeup for a completion.
