the commit <1c4404efcf2c0> ("<io_uring: make sure async workqueue

when io_ring-wq get a req form async_list, which may not have been
added to task_list. Then try to delete the req from task_list will caused
a "NULL pointer dereference".
Hmm, do you have a reproducer for this?

ctx == req->ctx, so you should not need that change.
