[PATCH] io_uring: Use system_dfl_wq instead of system_unbound_wq to fix warning

From: Nathan Chancellor

Date: Tue Jun 16 2026 - 17:39:17 EST


Commit de7341ffe49e ("io_uring: switch normal task_work to a mpscq")
added a use of system_unbound_wq, which is deprecated in favor of
system_dfl_wq added by commit 128ea9f6ccfb ("workqueue: Add
system_percpu_wq and system_dfl_wq"). An upcoming warning in the
workqueue tree flags this with:

workqueue: work func io_tctx_fallback_work enqueued on deprecated workqueue. Use system_{percpu|dfl}_wq instead.

Switch to system_dfl_wq to clear up the warning.
