[PATCH AUTOSEL 5.11 24/44] io_uring: fix ->flags races by linked timeouts

[Sasha Levin]

From: Pavel Begunkov <asml.silence@xxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit efe814a471e0e58f28f1efaf430c8784a4f36626 ]

It's racy to modify req->flags from a not owning context, e.g. linked
timeout calling req_set_fail_links() for the master request might race
with that request setting/clearing flags while being executed
concurrently. Just remove req_set_fail_links(prev) from
io_link_timeout_fn(), io_async_find_and_cancel() and functions down the
line take care of setting the fail bit.
