io_uring: fix racy req->flags modification

Setting and clearing REQ_F_OVERFLOW in io_uring_cancel_files() and
io_cqring_overflow_flush() are racy, because they might be called
asynchronously.

REQ_F_OVERFLOW flag in only needed for files cancellation, so if it can
be guaranteed that requests _currently_ marked inflight can't be
overflown, the problem will be solved with removing the flag
altogether.

That's how the patch works, it removes inflight status of a request
in io_cqring_fill_event() whenever it should be thrown into CQ-overflow
list. That's Ok to do, because no opcode specific handling can be done
after io_cqring_fill_event(), the same assumption as with "struct
io_completion" patches.
And it already have a good place for such cleanups, which is
io_clean_op(). A nice side effect of this is removing this inflight
check from the hot path.

note on synchronisation: now __io_cqring_fill_event() may be taking two
spinlocks simultaneously, completion_lock and inflight_lock. It's fine,
because we never do that in reverse order, and CQ-overflow of inflight
requests shouldn't happen often.
