Jens Axboe 009ad9f0c6 io_uring: drop ctx->uring_lock before acquiring sqd->lock
The SQPOLL thread dictates the lock order, and we hold the ctx->uring_lock
for all the registration opcodes. We also hold a ref to the ctx, and we
do drop the lock for other reasons to quiesce, so it's fine to drop the
ctx lock temporarily to grab the sqd->lock. This fixes the following
lockdep splat:

======================================================
WARNING: possible circular locking dependency detected

------------------------------------------------------
syz-executor.5/25433 is trying to acquire lock:

but task is already holding lock:

which lock already depends on the new lock.

the existing dependency chain (in reverse order) is:

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
