io_try_cancel_userdata() can be called from io_async_cancel() executing
in the io-wq context, so the warning fires, which is there to alert
anyone accessing task->io_uring->io_wq in a racy way. However,
io_wq_put_and_exit() always first waits for all threads to complete,
so the only detail left is to zero tctx->io_wq after the context is
removed.

note: one little assumption is that when IO_WQ_WORK_CANCEL, the executor
won't touch ->io_wq, because io_wq_destroy() might cancel left pending
requests in such a way.
