io_eject_bpf() clears ctx->loop_step while a loop may be sleeping in
io_loop_wait(), which releases ->uring_lock before schedule(). Nothing
wakes the submitter task after the BPF ops are unregistered through link
destruction or ring teardown, so the task stays blocked in
io_uring_enter() until an unrelated CQE event or signal arrives.
Since BPF ops require IORING_SETUP_DEFER_TASKRUN, only
ctx->submitter_task can run the loop, so wake it directly. The loop
rechecks loop_step after waking up and exits with -EFAULT. A spurious
wakeup is harmless because io_loop_wait() rechecks the wait condition
before sleeping again.
Fixes: 98f37634b12b ("io_uring/bpf-ops: implement bpf ops registration")
