Maybe we can compromise on something like this? Doesn't introduce any
may_lock() naming, just uses the __io_req_defer() to take that blame.
And uses the right sparse annotations to keep things happy with C=2 as
well. Uses your trick to make io_req_defer() do the lock drop for the
other caller.

Ran it through 400x rounds of testing, confirmed as well.
