[PULL v2 01/28] aio-posix: fix race between io_uring CQE and AioHandler deletion

[Kevin Wolf <kwolf@redhat.com>]

From: Stefan Hajnoczi <stefanha@redhat.com>

When an AioHandler is enqueued on ctx->submit_list for removal, the
fill_sq_ring() function will submit an io_uring POLL_REMOVE operation to
cancel the in-flight POLL_ADD operation.

There is a race when another thread enqueues an AioHandler for deletion
on ctx->submit_list when the POLL_ADD CQE has already appeared. In that
case POLL_REMOVE is unnecessary. The code already handled this, but
forgot that the AioHandler itself is still on ctx->submit_list when the
POLL_ADD CQE is being processed. It's unsafe to delete the AioHandler at
that point in time (use-after-free).

Solve this problem by keeping the AioHandler alive but setting a flag so
that it will be deleted by fill_sq_ring() when it runs.
