Oops, missed the email. It's created by io_uring, and passed to
io-wq, which is per-task and created on demand by io_uring.

Can be achieved by a snippet just below, where threads
haven't had io_uring instances before.

thread1: ring = create_io_uring();
thread2: submit_sqes(ring);
thread3: submit_sqes(ring);

Yep, and I feel like there are cases simpler (and
more likely) than the one I described.
