[PATCH] io_uring/wait: make check for pending io consider cached task references

[Fiona Ebner]

The io_uring task's inflight count also includes the reservations for
task references from io_task_refs_refill(), not just in-flight
requests. Thus, pending requests are present if the inflight count is
larger than the number of cached references.

Looks go to me! Just needs:

Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org
Fixes: 7b72d661f1f2 ("io_uring: gate iowait schedule on having pending requests")

tags added, I will do that. Thanks for debugging this and sending a fix.
