IORING_OP_CLOSE is special in terms of cancelation, since it has an
intermediate state where we've removed the file descriptor but hasn't
closed the file yet. For that reason, it's currently marked with
IO_WQ_WORK_NO_CANCEL to prevent cancelation. This ensures that the op
is always run even if canceled, to prevent leaving us with a live file
but an fd that is gone. However, with SQPOLL, since a cancel request
doesn't carry any resources on behalf of the request being canceled, if
we cancel before any of the close op has been run, we can end up with
io-wq not having the ->files assigned. This can result in the following
oops reported by Joseph:

Fix this by moving the IO_WQ_WORK_NO_CANCEL until _after_ we've modified
the fdtable. Canceling before this point is totally fine, and running
it in the io-wq context _after_ that point is also fine.
For 5.12, we'll handle this internally and get rid of the no-cancel
flag, as IORING_OP_CLOSE is the only user of it.
