io-wq: ensure we have a stable view of ->cur_work for cancellations

worker->cur_work is currently protected by the lock of the wqe that the
worker belongs to. When we send a signal to a worker, we need a stable
view of ->cur_work, so we need to hold that lock. But this doesn't work
so well, since we have the opposite order potentially on queueing work.
If POLL_ADD is used with a signalfd, then io_poll_wake() is called with
the signal lock, and that sometimes needs to insert work items.

Add a specific worker lock that protects the current work item. Then we
can guarantee that the task we're sending a signal is currently
processing the exact work we think it is.
