I met a null-ptr-deref when doing fault-inject test:

If io_allocate_scq_urings() fails in io_uring_create(), 'ctx->sq_data' is not set yet, when calling io_sq_offload_start() in io_disable_sqo_submit() in error path, it will lead a null-ptr-deref.

The io_disable_sqo_submit() has been removed in mainline by commit 70aacfe66136 ("io_uring: kill sqo_dead and sqo submission halting"), so the bug has been eliminated in mainline, it's a fix only for stable-5.10.
