      Pull io_uring thread rewrite from Jens Axboe:
       "This converts the io-wq workers to be forked off the tasks in question
        instead of being kernel threads that assume various bits of the
        original task identity.
      
        This kills > 400 lines of code from io_uring/io-wq, and it's the worst
        part of the code. We've had several bugs in this area, and the worry
        is always that we could be missing some pieces for file types doing
        unusual things (recent /dev/tty example comes to mind, userfaultfd
        reads installing file descriptors is another fun one... - both of
        which need special handling, and I bet it's not the last weird oddity
        we'll find).
      
        With these identical workers, we can have full confidence that we're
        never missing anything. That, in itself, is a huge win. Outside of
        that, it's also more efficient since we're not wasting space and code
        on tracking state, or switching between different states.
      
        I'm sure we're going to find little things to patch up after this
        series, but testing has been pretty thorough, from the usual
        regression suite to production. Any issue that may crop up should be
        manageable.
      
        There's also a nice series of further reductions we can do on top of
        this, but I wanted to get the meat of it out sooner rather than later.
        The general worry here isn't that it's fundamentally broken. Most of
        the little issues we've found over the last week have been related to
        just changes in how thread startup/exit is done, since that's the main
        difference between using kthreads and these kinds of threads. In fact,
        if all goes according to plan, I want to get this into the 5.10 and
        5.11 stable branches as well.
      
        That said, the changes outside of io_uring/io-wq are:
      
         - arch setup, simple one-liner to each arch copy_thread()
           implementation.
      
         - Removal of net and proc restrictions for io_uring, they are no
           longer needed or useful"
