The entire fault path, including this final userfault handling code you're seeing, would be triggered in an infinite loop. That's why I traced and found that the io_wq_worker_running() function returns early, causing the flow to differ from a normal user fault, where it should be sleeping. However, your call stack appears to behave normally, which makes me curious about what's different about execution flow. Would you be able to share your test case code so I can study it and try to reproduce the behavior on my side?
