commit 12d908116f7efd34f255a482b9afc729d7a5fb78 upstream.
Currently, io_uring_unreg_ringfd() (which cleans up registered rings) is only called on exit, but __io_uring_free (which frees the tctx in which the registered ring pointers are stored) is also called on execve (via begin_new_exec -> io_uring_task_cancel -> __io_uring_cancel -> io_uring_cancel_generic -> __io_uring_free).
This means: A process going through execve while having registered rings will leak references to the rings' `struct file`.
Fix it by zapping registered rings on execve(). This is implemented by moving the io_uring_unreg_ringfd() from io_uring_files_cancel() into its callee __io_uring_cancel(), which is called from io_uring_task_cancel() on execve.
This could probably be exploited *on 32-bit kernels* by leaking 2^32 references to the same ring, because the file refcount is stored in a pointer-sized field and get_file() doesn't have protection against refcount overflow, just a WARN_ONCE(); but on 64-bit it should have no impact beyond a memory leak.
