io_uring: fix possible deadlock between io_uring_{enter,register}

Browse Source 
If we have multiple threads, one doing io_uring_enter() while the other
is doing io_uring_register(), we can run into a deadlock between the
two. io_uring_register() must wait for existing users of the io_uring
instance to exit. But it does so while holding the io_uring mutex.
Callers of io_uring_enter() may need this mutex to make progress (and
eventually exit). If we wait for users to exit in io_uring_register(),
we can't do so with the io_uring mutex held without potentially risking
a deadlock.

Drop the io_uring mutex while waiting for existing callers to exit. This
is safe and guaranteed to make forward progress, since we already killed
the percpu ref before doing so. Hence later callers of io_uring_enter()
will be rejected.
