[PATCH] io_uring/fdinfo: remove need for sqpoll lock for thread/pid retrieval

[Jens Axboe]

A previous commit added a trylock for getting the SQPOLL thread info via
fdinfo, but this introduced a regression where we often fail to get it if
the thread is busy. For that case, we end up not printing the current CPU
and PID info.

Rather than rely on this lock, just print the pid we already stored in
the io_sq_data struct, and ensure we update the current CPU every time we
are going to sleep. The latter won't potentially be 100% accurate, but
that wasn't the case before either as the task can get migrated at any
time unless it has been pinned at creation time.

We retain keeping the io_sq_data dereference inside the ctx->uring_lock,
as it has always been, as destruction of the thread and data happen below
that. We could make this RCU safe, but there's little point in doing that.

With this, we always print the last valid information we had, rather than
have spurious outputs with missing information.
