Use the same trick that blk_io_schedule() does to avoid triggering the
hung task warning (and potential reboot/panic, depending on system
settings), and only wait for half the hung task timeout at the time.
If we exceed the default IO_URING_EXIT_WAIT_MAX period where we expect
things to certainly have finished unless there's a bug, then throw a
WARN_ON_ONCE() for that case.
