io_uring/io-wq: don't clear PF_IO_WORKER on exit

A recent commit gated the core dumping task exit logic on current->flags
remaining consistent in terms of PF_{IO,USER}_WORKER at task exit time.
This exposed a problem with the io-wq handling of that, which explicitly
clears PF_IO_WORKER before calling do_exit().

The reasons for this manual clear of PF_IO_WORKER is historical, where
io-wq used to potentially trigger a sleep on exit. As the io-wq thread
is exiting, it should not participate any further accounting. But these
days we don't need to rely on current->flags anymore, so we can safely
remove the PF_IO_WORKER clearing.
