In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

io_uring/sqpoll: ensure task state is TASK_RUNNING when running task_work

When the sqpoll is exiting and cancels pending work items, it may need to run task_work. If this happens from within io_uring_cancel_generic(), then it may be under waiting for the io_uring_task waitqueue. This results in the below splat from the scheduler, as the ring mutex may be attempted grabbed while in a TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE state.

Ensure that the task state is set appropriately for that, just like what is done for the other cases in io_run_task_work().
