commit 60c112b0 upstream.

Stephen reports:

I hit the following General Protection Fault when testing io_uring via
the io_uring engine in fio. This was on a VM running 5.2-rc5 and the
latest version of fio. The issue occurs for both null_blk and fake NVMe
drives. I have not tested bare metal or real NVMe SSDs. The fio script
used is given below.

which occurs because using a kernel side submission thread isn't valid
without using fixed files (registered through io_uring_register()). This
causes io_uring to put the request after logging an error, but before
the file field is set in the request. If it happens to be non-zero, we
attempt to fput() garbage.

Fix this by ensuring that req->file is initialized when the request is
allocated.
