[PATCH for-next] io_uring/timeout: annotate data race in io_flush_timeouts()

[Jens Axboe]

syzbot correctly reports this as a KCSAN race, as ctx->cached_cq_tail
should be read under ->uring_lock. This isn't immediately feasible in
io_flush_timeouts(), but as long as we read a stable value, that should
be good enough. If two io-wq threads compete on this value, then they
will both end up calling io_flush_timeouts() and at least one of them
will see the correct value.
