io_uring: fix files grab/cancel race
When one task is in io_uring_cancel_files() and another is doing
io_prep_async_work() a race may happen. That's because after accounting
a request inflight in first call to io_grab_identity() it still may fail
and go to io_identity_cow(), which migh briefly keep dangling
work.identity and not only.
Grab files last, so io_prep_async_work() won't fail if it did get into
->inflight_list.
note: the bug shouldn't exist after making io_uring_cancel_files() not
poking into other tasks' requests.
