Before the blamed commit, sendzc relied on io_req_msg_cleanup() to clear
REQ_F_NEED_CLEANUP, so after the following snippet the request will
never hit the core io_uring cleanup path.

io_notif_flush();
io_req_msg_cleanup();

The easiest fix is to null the notification. io_send_zc_cleanup() can
still be called after, but it's tolerated.
