[GIT PULL] io_uring fixes for 5.8-rc4

[Jens Axboe]

Hi Linus,

One fix in here, for a regression in 5.7 where a task is waiting in the
kernel for a condition, but that condition won't become true until
task_work is run. The task_work can't be run exactly because the task is
waiting in the kernel, so we'll never make any progress. One example of
that is registering an eventfd and queueing io_uring work, and then the
task goes and waits in eventfd read with the expectation that it'll get
woken (and read an event) when the io_uring request completes. The
io_uring request is finished through task_work, which won't get run
while the task is looping in eventfd read.

Please pull!
