Haven't looked at the trace and description, but I do think
there is a problem it solves.

1) io_wait_on_hash() -> __add_wait_queue(&hash->wait, &wqe->wait);
2) (note: wqe is a worker) wqe's workers exit dropping refs
3) refs are zero, free io-wq
4) @hash is shared, so other task/wq does wake_up(&wq->hash->wait);
5) it wakes freed wqe

step 4) is a bit more trickier than that, tl;dr;
wq3:worker1 | locks bit1
wq1:worker2 | waits bit1
wq2:worker1 | waits bit1
wq1:worker3 | waits bit1

wq3:worker1 | drop bit1
wq1:worker2 | locks bit1
wq1:worker2 | completes all wq1 bit1 work items
wq1:worker2 | drop bit1, exit and free io-wq

wq2:worker1 | locks bit1
wq1 | free complete
wq2:worker1 | drops bit1
wq1:worker3 | waked up, even though freed

Can be simplified, don't want to waste time on that
