io_uring: remove looping around handling traditional task_work
[ Upstream commit 592b4805432af075468876771c0f7d41273ccb3c ] A previous commit added looping around handling traditional task_work as an optimization, and while that may seem like a good idea, it's also possible to run into application starvation doing so. If the task_work generation is bursty, we can get very deep task_work queues, and we can end up looping in here for a very long time. One immediately observable problem with that is handling network traffic using provided buffers, where flooding incoming traffic and looping task_work handling will very quickly lead to buffer starvation as we keep running task_work rather than returning to the application so it can handle the associated CQEs and also provide buffers back.
