[PATCH] io_uring/timeout: splice timed out link in timeout handler

A previous commit deferred this to the task_work part of it, so it could
be protected by ->uring_lock. But that's actually not necessary here,
and in fact the head clearing is not enough to make that safe. For those
two reasons, just re-instate the local splicing.

Fix for a fix that went into the current 7.1 kernel release.
