io_uring/io-wq: limit retrying worker initialisation
If io-wq worker creation fails, we retry it by queueing up a task_work. tasK_work is needed because it should be done from the user process context. The problem is that retries are not limited, and if queueing a task_work is the reason for the failure, we might get into an infinite loop. It doesn't seem to happen now but it would with the following patch executing task_work in the freezer's loop. For now, arbitrarily limit the number of attempts to create a worker.
