Allocated iovec is freed only in io_{read,write,send,recv)(), and just
leaves it if an error occured. There are plenty of such cases:
- cancellation of non-head requests
- fail grabbing files in __io_queue_sqe()
- set REQ_F_NOWAIT and returning in __io_queue_sqe()
- etc.
Add REQ_F_NEED_CLEANUP, which will force such requests with custom
allocated resourses go through cleanup handlers on put.

This is probably desirable in stable-5.5, so I tried to not change much.
I'll hide common parts in following patches for-5.6/next.

I appreciate that, it's worth keeping in mind for stable bound patches
for sure. Thanks, applied.

This looks horribly fragile.

Well, not as horrible as it may appear -- set the flag, whenever you
want the corresponding destructor to be called, and clear it when is not
needed anymore.
I'd love to have something better, maybe even something more intrusive
for-next, but that shouldn't hurt the hot path. Any ideas?

Given all the 'cud chewing' that happens in code paths
like the one that read iov from userspace just adding:
if (unlikely(foo->ptr))
kfree(foo->ptr);
before 'foo' goes out of scope (or is reused) is probably
not measurable.

There are a bunch of problems with it:
1. "out of scope" may end up in the generic code, but not opcode
handler, so the deallocation should be in the generic path, otherwise
it'll leak.
2. @iovec is an opcode-specific thing, so you would need to call a
proper destructor. And that's an indirect call or a switch (as in the
cleanup()) in the hot path.
2. we may need several such resources and/or other resource types (e.g.
struct file, which is needed for splice(2).
4. such fields are not initialised until custom opcode handler came to
the scene. And I'm not sure zeroing will solve all cases and won't hurt
performance. Workarounds with something like REQ_F_INITIALISED are not
much better.
That's why I think it's good enough for an immediate fix, it solves the
issue and is easy to be backported. It'd be great to look for a more
gracious approach, but that's most probably for 5.7
