[PATCH RFC v7 13/16] io_uring/cmd: let cmds to know about dying task

From: Pavel Begunkov <asml.silence@gmail.com>

When the taks that submitted a request is dying, a task work for that
request might get run by a kernel thread or even worse by a half
dismantled task. We can't just cancel the task work without running the
callback as the cmd might need to do some clean up, so pass a flag
instead. If set, it's not safe to access any task resources and the
callback is expected to cancel the cmd ASAP.
