Bisected and found the first bad commit is:
eebd2e37e662617a6b8041db75205f0a262ce870
io_uring: don't take task ring-file notes

But after reverted above commit eebd2e37e on top of v6.2-rc5 kernel and made
the kernel failed. So it's just the suspected commit for above problem.

Syzkaller reproduced code, bisect info, kconfig and v6.2-rc5 dmesg are in
attached.

All detailed info is in link:
https://github.com/xupengfe/syzkaller_logs/tree/main/230124_055801_io_ring_exit_work

I hope it's helpful.

Thanks!
BR.
