io_uring: check for presence of task_work rather than TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL
If some part of the kernel adds task_work that needs executing, in terms of signaling it'll generally use TWA_SIGNAL or TWA_RESUME. Those two directly translate to TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL or TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME, and can be used for a variety of use case outside of task_work. However, io_cqring_wait_schedule() only tests explicitly for TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL. This means it can miss if task_work got added for the task, but used a different kind of signaling mechanism (or none at all). Normally this doesn't matter as any task_work will be run once the task exits to userspace, except if: 1) The ring is setup with DEFER_TASKRUN 2) The local work item may generate normal task_work For condition 2, this can happen when closing a file and it's the final put of that file, for example. This can cause stalls where a task is waiting to make progress inside io_cqring_wait(), but there's nothing else that will wake it up. Hence change the "should we schedule or loop around" check to check for the presence of task_work explicitly, rather than just TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL as the mechanism. While in there, also change the ordering of what type of task_work first in terms of ordering, to both make it consistent with other task_work runs in io_uring, but also to better handle the case of defer task_work generating normal task_work, like in the above example.
