io_uring: fix possible race condition against REQ_F_NEED_CLEANUP

In io_read() or io_write(), when io request is submitted successfully,
it'll go through the below sequence:

    kfree(iovec);
    req->flags &= ~REQ_F_NEED_CLEANUP;
    return ret;

But clearing REQ_F_NEED_CLEANUP might be unsafe. The io request may
already have been completed, and then io_complete_rw_iopoll()
and io_complete_rw() will be called, both of which will also modify
req->flags if needed. This causes a race condition, with concurrent
non-atomic modification of req->flags.

To eliminate this race, in io_read() or io_write(), if io request is
submitted successfully, we don't remove REQ_F_NEED_CLEANUP flag. If
REQ_F_NEED_CLEANUP is set, we'll leave __io_req_aux_free() to the
iovec cleanup work correspondingly.
