If io_req_complete_post() put not a final ref, we can't rely on the request's ctx ref, and so ctx may potentially be freed while complete_post() is in io_cqring_ev_posted()/etc. In that case get an additional ctx reference, and put it in the end, so protecting following io_cqring_ev_posted(). And also prolong ctx lifetime until spin_unlock happens, as we do with mutexes, so added percpu_ref_get() doesn't race with ctx free.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
