io_uring: remove looping around handling traditional task_work
A previous commit added looping around handling traditional task_work
as an optimization, and while that may seem like a good idea, it's also
possible to run into application starvation doing so. If the task_work
generation is bursty, we can get very deep task_work queues, and we can
end up looping in here for a very long time.
One immediately observable problem with that is handling network traffic
using provided buffers, where flooding incoming traffic and looping
task_work handling will very quickly lead to buffer starvation as we
keep running task_work rather than returning to the application so it
can handle the associated CQEs and also provide buffers back.
Fixes: 3a0c037b0e16 ("io_uring: batch task_work")
