io_uring/io-wq: limit retrying worker initialisation

Browse Source 
If io-wq worker creation fails, we retry it by queueing up a task_work.
tasK_work is needed because it should be done from the user process
context. The problem is that retries are not limited, and if queueing a
task_work is the reason for the failure, we might get into an infinite
loop.

It doesn't seem to happen now but it would with the following patch
executing task_work in the freezer's loop. For now, arbitrarily limit the
number of attempts to create a worker.
