__io_msg_ring_data() checks that the target_ctx isn't
IORING_SETUP_R_DISABLED before calling io_msg_data_remote(), which calls
io_msg_remote_post(). So submitter_task can't be modified concurrently
with the read in io_msg_remote_post(). Additionally, submitter_task must
exist, as io_msg_data_remote() is only called for io_msg_need_remote(),
i.e. task_complete is set, which requires IORING_SETUP_DEFER_TASKRUN,
which in turn requires IORING_SETUP_SINGLE_ISSUER. And submitter_task is
assigned in io_uring_create() or io_register_enable_rings() before
enabling any IORING_SETUP_SINGLE_ISSUER io_ring_ctx.
Similarly, io_msg_send_fd() checks IORING_SETUP_R_DISABLED and
io_msg_need_remote() before calling io_msg_fd_remote(). submitter_task
therefore can't be modified concurrently with the read in
io_msg_fd_remote() and must be non-null.
io_register_enable_rings() can't run concurrently because it's called
from io_uring_register() -> __io_uring_register() with uring_lock held.
Thus, replace the READ_ONCE() and WRITE_ONCE() of submitter_task with
plain loads and stores. And remove the NULL checks of submitter_task in
io_msg_remote_post() and io_msg_fd_remote().
