[ upstream commit bd2703b42decebdcddf76e277ba76b4c4a142d73 ] With IORING_SETUP_SQPOLL all requests are created by the SQPOLL task, which means that req->task should always match sqd->thread. Since accesses to sqd->thread should be separately protected, use req->task in io_req_normal_work_add() instead. Note, in the eyes of io_req_normal_work_add(), the SQPOLL task struct is always pinned and alive, and sqd->thread can either be the task or NULL. It's only problematic if the compiler decides to reload the value after the null check, which is not so likely.
