I guess case below can trigger above panic: there're two threads which
operates different io_uring ctxs and share same sqthread identity, and
later one thread exits, io_uring_cancel_task_requests() will clear
task->io_uring->identity->files to be NULL in sqpoll mode, then another
ctx that uses same identity will panic.

Indeed we don't need to clear task->io_uring->identity->files here,
io_grab_identity() should handle identity->files changes well, if
task->io_uring->identity->files is not equal to current->files,
io_cow_identity() should handle this changes well.
