Subject: [PATCH] io_uring: fix ltout double free on completion race

Always remove linked timeout on io_link_timeout_fn() from the master
request link list, otherwise we may get use-after-free when first
io_link_timeout_fn() puts linked timeout in the fail path, and then
will be found and put on master's free.

Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org # 5.10+
Fixes: 90cd7e424969d ("io_uring: track link timeout's master explicitly")
