AI-generated root cause summary:
In io_uring/sqpoll.c, io_sq_thread() sets the IO_SQ_THREAD_SHOULD_STOP bit on
sqd->state when the SQPOLL thread terminates (e.g., due to a fatal signal) to
prevent new rings from attaching during cancelation. However,
io_sq_thread_stop() still contains an assertion
WARN_ON_ONCE(test_bit(IO_SQ_THREAD_SHOULD_STOP, &sqd->state)) under the earlier
invariant that only io_sq_thread_stop() ever sets this bit when rings release
their references. When the ring is subsequently torn down during process
cleanup, io_put_sq_data() calls io_sq_thread_stop() on the already-stopped sqd,
tripping the warning.
