The buggy address belongs to the object at ffff88810de2cb00
 which belongs to the cache task_struct of size 3712
The buggy address is located 1992 bytes inside of
 freed 3712-byte region [ffff88810de2cb00, ffff88810de2d980)

which is caused by the task_struct pointed to by sq->thread being
released while it is being used in the function
__io_uring_show_fdinfo(). Holding ctx->uring_lock does not prevent ehre
relase or exit of sq->thread.

Fix this by assigning and looking up ->thread under RCU, and grabbing a
reference to the task_struct. This ensures that it cannot get released
while fdinfo is using it.
