Jens Axboe 3c48558be5 io_uring: always grab file table for deferred statx
Lee reports that there's a use-after-free of the process file table.
There's an assumption that we don't need the file table for some
variants of statx invocation, but that turns out to be false and we
end up with not grabbing a reference for the request even if the
deferred execution uses it.

Get rid of the REQ_F_NO_FILE_TABLE optimization for statx, and always
grab that reference.

This issues doesn't exist upstream since the native workers got
introduced with 5.12.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
