I've been chasing a weird and obscure crash that was userspace stack corruption, and finally narrowed it down to a bit flip that made a stack address invalid. io_wq_submit_work() unconditionally flips the req->rw.ki_flags IOCB_NOWAIT bit, but since it's a generic work handler, this isn't valid. Normal read/write operations own that part of the request, on other types it could be something else. Move the IOCB_NOWAIT clear to the read/write handlers where it belongs.

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.
