io_uring: lock overflowing for IOPOLL

syzbot reports an issue with overflow filling for IOPOLL:

There is no real problem for normal IOPOLL as flush is also called with
uring_lock taken, but it's getting more complicated for IOPOLL|SQPOLL,
for which __io_cqring_overflow_flush() happens from the CQ waiting path.
