With IORING_SETUP_SQPOLL all requests are created by the SQPOLL task,
which means that req->task should always match sqd->thread. Since
accesses to sqd->thread should be separately protected, use req->task
in io_req_normal_work_add() instead.

Note, in the eyes of io_req_normal_work_add(), the SQPOLL task struct
is always pinned and alive, and sqd->thread can either be the task or
NULL. It's only problematic if the compiler decides to reload the value
after the null check, which is not so likely.

We don't have much time to drag it on, let's fix it up
so it hopefully gets into 6.13
