From: Jens Axboe <axboe@xxxxxxxxx> Lee reports that there's a use-after-free of the process file table. There's an assumption that we don't need the file table for some variants of statx invocation, but that turns out to be false and we end up with not grabbing a reference for the request even if the deferred execution uses it. Get rid of the REQ_F_NO_FILE_TABLE optimization for statx, and always grab that reference. This issues doesn't exist upstream since the native workers got introduced with 5.12.
