[PATCH v2] io_uring: preserve task restrictions across exec

Message-ID <[email protected]>
Per-task restrictions apply to all rings created by a task. Once installed,
they should not be dropped across exec.

For a task that has used io_uring, the exec cancellation path calls
__io_uring_free(). This frees both the task context and the per-task
restriction, so a ring created after exec is unrestricted.

Split task context cleanup into io_uring_free_tctx(), and use it from the
exec cancellation path. Keep __io_uring_free() for final task cleanup,
where both the context and restriction are released.
