So this is due to commit
  685fe7feedb96 ("io-wq: eliminate the need for a manager thread")

introduced in the v5.13-rc1 merge window. The call chain is
  schedule()
   sched_submit_work()
    preempt_disable();
    io_wq_worker_sleeping()
      raw_spin_lock_irq(&worker->wqe->lock);
      io_wqe_dec_running(worker);
       io_queue_worker_create()
        kmalloc(sizeof(*cwd), GFP_ATOMIC);

The lock wqe::lock has been turned into a raw_spinlock_t in commit
   95da84659226d ("io_wq: Make io_wqe::lock a raw_spinlock_t")

after a careful analysis of the code at that time. This commit breaks
things. Is this really needed?
