io_uring: fix race condition in task_work add and clear
We clear the bit marking the ctx task_work as active after having run the queued work, but we really should be clearing it before. Otherwise we can hit a tiny race ala: CPU0 CPU1 io_task_work_add() tctx_task_work() run_work add_to_list test_and_set_bit clear_bit already set and CPU0 will return thinking the task_work is queued, while in reality it's already being run. If we hit the condition after __tctx_task_work() found no more work, but before we've cleared the bit, then we'll end up thinking it's queued and will be run. In reality it is queued, but we didn't queue the ctx task_work to ensure that it gets run.
