Jens Axboe df8922afc3 io_uring/msg_ring: kill alloc_cache for io_kiocb allocations
A recent commit:

fc582cd26e ("io_uring/msg_ring: ensure io_kiocb freeing is deferred for RCU")

fixed an issue with not deferring freeing of io_kiocb structs that
msg_ring allocates to after the current RCU grace period. But this only
covers requests that don't end up in the allocation cache. If a request
goes into the alloc cache, it can get reused before it is sane to do so.
A recent syzbot report would seem to indicate that there's something
there, however it may very well just be because of the KASAN poisoning
that the alloc_cache handles manually.

Rather than attempt to make the alloc_cache sane for that use case, just
drop the usage of the alloc_cache for msg_ring request payload data.

Fixes: 50cf5f3842 ("io_uring/msg_ring: add an alloc cache for io_kiocb entries")

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
