[ Upstream commit 4ec703ec0c384a2199808c4eb2e9037236285a8d ]

The negation operator is incorrectly placed outside the unlikely()
macro:

    if (!unlikely(iwa))

This inverts the compiler branch prediction hint, marking the NULL case
as likely instead of unlikely. The intent is to indicate that allocation
failures are rare, consistent with common kernel patterns.

 Moving the negation inside unlikely():

    if (unlikely(!iwa))

commit 2f8229d53d984c6a05b71ac9e9583d4354e3b91f upstream.

For a successful return, always remove our entry from the wait queue
entry list. Previously this was skipped if a cancelation was in
progress, but this can race with another invocation of the wait queue
entry callback.

<title>io_uring: finish IOU_OK -&gt; IOU_COMPLETE transition</title>

IOU_COMPLETE is more descriptive, in that it explicitly says that the
return value means "please post a completion for this request". This
patch completes the transition from IOU_OK to IOU_COMPLETE, replacing
existing IOU_OK users.

This is a purely mechanical change.

<content type='text'>
In preparation for changing how io_tw_state is passed, introduce a type
alias io_tw_token_t for struct io_tw_state *. This allows for changing
the representation in one place, without having to update the many
functions that just forward their struct io_tw_state * argument.

Also add a comment to struct io_tw_state to explain its purpose.

struct io_tw_state is managed by core io_uring, and opcode handling code
must never try to cheat and create their own instances, it's plain
incorrect.

io_waitid_complete() attempts exactly that outside of the task work
context, and even though the ring is locked, there would be no one to
reap the requests from the defer completion list. It only works now
because luckily it's called before io_uring_try_cancel_uring_cmd(),
which flushes completions.
