    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.
