Jann Horn 12d908116f io_uring: Fix registered ring file refcount leak
Currently, io_uring_unreg_ringfd() (which cleans up registered rings) is
only called on exit, but __io_uring_free (which frees the tctx in which the
registered ring pointers are stored) is also called on execve (via
begin_new_exec -> io_uring_task_cancel -> __io_uring_cancel ->
io_uring_cancel_generic -> __io_uring_free).

This means: A process going through execve while having registered rings
will leak references to the rings' `struct file`.

Fix it by zapping registered rings on execve(). This is implemented by
moving the io_uring_unreg_ringfd() from io_uring_files_cancel() into its
callee __io_uring_cancel(), which is called from io_uring_task_cancel() on
execve.

This could probably be exploited *on 32-bit kernels* by leaking 2^32
references to the same ring, because the file refcount is stored in a
pointer-sized field and get_file() doesn't have protection against
refcount overflow, just a WARN_ONCE(); but on 64-bit it should have no
impact beyond a memory leak.
