It'd need to go through some other context, e.g. task context.
task_work_add() + custom handler would work, either buf-select
synchronisation can be reworked, but both would rather be
bulky and not great.

I'm more curious if we ever hit REQ_F_BUFFER_SELECTED branch in
io_clean_op(), because it would just drop the id on the floor...
It might use a WARN_ONCE.
