No upstream commit exists for this patch.
If we drop the lock right after adding it to the timeout list, then
someone attempting to kill timeouts will find it in an indeterminate
state. That means that cancelation could attempt to cancel and remove
a timeout, and then io_timeout() proceeds to init and add the timer
afterwards.
Ensure the timeout request is fully setup before we drop the
completion lock, which guards cancelation as well.
