Subject: [PATCH] io_uring: clear TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL if set and task_work not
 available

With how task_work is added and signaled, we can have TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL
set and no task_work pending as it got run in a previous loop. Treat
TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL like get_signal(), always clear it if set regardless
of whether or not task_work is pending to run.

This isn't needed, as the 5.15 base is still using tracehooks for this.
