[PATCH 2/2] io_uring: Potential Oops in io_sq_offload_start()

The "p->sq_thread_cpu" variable is an integer which comes from the user.
We can't pass values greater than NR_CPUS to cpu_possible() or it could
lead to an out of bound read and possibly an Oops.

The recently added cpu_possible_safe() function can handle unfiltered
input so lets use that instead. This patch also removes the call to
array_index_nospec() since that is handled in cpu_possible_safe().

Fixes: 6c271ce2f1d5 ("io_uring: add submission polling")
