We have two checks of task->flags & PF_EXITING left:
1) In io_req_task_submit(), which is called in task_work and hence always
in the context of the original task. That means that
req->task == current, and hence checking ->flags is totally fine.
2) In io_poll_rewait(), where we need to stop re-arming poll to prevent
it interfering with cancelation. This is only run from task_work as
well, and hence for this case too req->task == current.
Add a comment to both spots detailing that.
