io_uring/io-wq: close io-wq full-stop gap
There is an old problem with io-wq cancellation where requests should be killed and are in io-wq but are not discoverable, e.g. in @next_hashed or @linked vars of io_worker_handle_work(). It adds some unreliability to individual request canellation, but also may potentially get __io_uring_cancel() stuck. For instance: 1) An __io_uring_cancel()'s cancellation round have not found any request but there are some as desribed. 2) __io_uring_cancel() goes to sleep 3) Then workers wake up and try to execute those hidden requests that happen to be unbound. As we already cancel all requests of io-wq there, set IO_WQ_BIT_EXIT in advance, so preventing 3) from executing unbound requests. The workers will initially break looping because of getting a signal as they are threads of the dying/exec()'ing user task.
