[PATCH] io_uring: drop ctx->uring_lock before acquiring sqd->lock

[Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>]

The SQPOLL thread dictates the lock order, and we hold the ctx->uring_lock
for all the registration opcodes. We also hold a ref to the ctx, and we
do drop the lock for other reasons to quiesce, so it's fine to drop the
ctx lock temporarily to grab the sqd->lock. This fixes the following
lockdep splat:

syz-executor.5/25433 is trying to acquire lock:

but task is already holding lock:

which lock already depends on the new lock.

the existing dependency chain (in reverse order) is:

 Possible unsafe locking scenario:

                               lock(&ctx->uring_lock);
  lock(&sqd->lock);
