This allows us to do task creation and setup without needing to use

If we move it in there, then we no longer have to care about it in io-wq.
This means we can drop the cred handling in io-wq, and we can drop the
REQ_F_WORK_INITIALIZED flag and async init functions as that was the last
user of it since we moved to the new workers. Then we can also drop
io_wq_work->creds, and just hold the personality u16 in there instead.

If we put the io-wq from io_uring, we really want it to exit. Provide
a helper that does that for us. Couple that with not having the manager
hold a reference to the 'wq' and the normal SQPOLL exit will tear down
the io-wq context appropriate.
On the io-wq side, our wq context is per task, so only the task itself
is manipulating ->manager and hence it's safe to check and clear without
any extra locking. We just need to ensure that the manager task stays
around, in case it exits.

exec will cancel any threads, including the ones that io-wq is using. This
isn't a problem, in fact we'd prefer it to be that way since it means we
know that any async work cancels naturally without having to handle it
proactively.
But it does mean that we need to setup a new manager, as the manager and
workers are gone. Handle this at queue time, and cancel work if we fail.
Since the manager can go away without us noticing, ensure that the manager
itself holds a reference to the 'wq' as well. Rename io_wq_destroy() to
io_wq_put() to reflect that.
In the future we can now simplify exec cancelation handling, for now just
leave it the same.

Before the io-wq thread change, we maintained a hash work map and lock
per-node per-ring. That wasn't ideal, as we really wanted it to be per
ring. But now that we have per-task workers, the hash map ends up being
just per-task. That'll work just fine for the normal case of having
one task use a ring, but if you share the ring between tasks, then it's
considerably worse than it was before.
Make the hash map per ctx instead, which provides full per-ctx buffered
write serialization on hashed writes.

Instead of using regular kthread kernel threads, create kernel threads
that are like a real thread that the task would create. This ensures that
we get all the context that we need, without having to carry that state
around. This greatly reduces the code complexity, and the risk of missing
state for a given request type.
With the move away from kthread, we can also dump everything related to

task_work is a LIFO list, due to how it's implemented as a lockless
list. For long chains of task_work, this can be problematic as the
first entry added is the last one processed. Similarly, we'd waste
a lot of CPU cycles reversing this list.
Wrap the task_work so we have a single task_work entry per task per
ctx, and use that to run it in the right order.

For the first time a req punted to io-wq, we'll initialize io_wq_work's
list to be NULL, then insert req to io_wqe->work_list. If this req is not
inserted into tail of io_wqe->work_list, this req's io_wq_work list will
point to another req's io_wq_work. For splitted bio case, this req maybe
inserted to io_wqe->work_list repeatedly, once we insert it to tail of
io_wqe->work_list for the second time, now io_wq_work->list->next will be
invalid pointer, which then result in many strang error, panic, kernel
soft-lockup, rcu stall, etc.

There are a few operations that are offloaded to the worker threads. In

We always punt async buffered writes to an io-wq helper, as the core
kernel does not have IOCB_NOWAIT support for that. Most buffered async
writes complete very quickly, as it's just a copy operation. This means
that doing multiple locking roundtrips on the shared wqe lock for each
buffered write is wasteful. Additionally, buffered writes are hashed
work items, which means that any buffered write to a given file is
serialized.
Keep identicaly hashed work items contiguously in @wqe->work_list, and
track a tail for each hash bucket. On dequeue of a hashed item, splice
all of the same hash in one go using the tracked tail. Until the batch
is done, the caller doesn't have to synchronize with the wqe or worker
locks again.
