I'm afraid of ABA problem, but this particular case @current shouldn't
go away until ->close is finished.

I was thinking about not get_task() it at all, but it would _at least_
need a way to add a callback on exit of tasks using io_uring to
cancel everything related there. Similarly to how it's done for
work->files using ->close().
