This is caused by calling io_run_task_work_sig() to do work under uring_lock while the caller io_sqe_files_unregister() already held uring_lock.
To fix this issue, briefly drop uring_lock when calling io_run_task_work_sig(), and there are two things to concern:

- hold uring_lock in io_ring_ctx_free() around io_sqe_files_unregister() this is for consistency of lock/unlock.
- add new fixed rsrc ref node before dropping uring_lock

    it's not safe to do io_uring_enter-->percpu_ref_get() with a dying one.

- check if rsrc_data->refs is dying to avoid parallel io_sqe_files_unregister
