Subject: [PATCH] io_uring: remove extra sqpoll submission halting

SQPOLL task won't submit requests for a context that is currently dying,
so no need to remove ctx from sqd_list prior the main loop of
io_ring_exit_work(). Kill it, will be removed by io_sq_thread_finish()
and only brings confusion and lockups.
