PATCH 1/1 io_uring: close a small race gap for files cancel

commit dfea9fce29fda6f2f91161677e0e0d9b671bc099 upstream.

The purpose of io_uring_cancel_files() is to wait for all requests matching ->files to go/be cancelled. We should first drop files of a request in io_req_drop_files() and only then make it undiscoverable for io_uring_cancel_files.

First drop, then delete from list. It's ok to leave req->id->files dangling, because it's not dereferenced by cancellation code, only compared against. It would potentially go to sleep and be awaken by following in io_req_drop_files() wake_up().

Fixes 0f2122045b946 ("io_uring: don't rely on weak ->files references")
