We clear the bit marking the ctx task_work as active after having run
the queued work, but we really should be clearing it before. Otherwise
we can hit a tiny race ala:
CPU0 CPU1
io_task_work_add() tctx_task_work()
run_work
add_to_list
test_and_set_bit
clear_bit
already set
and CPU0 will return thinking the task_work is queued, while in reality
it's already being run. If we hit the condition after __tctx_task_work()
found no more work, but before we've cleared the bit, then we'll end up
thinking it's queued and will be run. In reality it is queued, but we
didn't queue the ctx task_work to ensure that it gets run.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
