Turns out that this is due to percpu_ref_switch_to_atomic() only
grabbing a reference to the percpu refcount if it's not already in
atomic mode. io_uring drops a ref and re-gets it when switching back to
percpu mode. We attempt to protect against this with the FFD_F_ATOMIC
bit, but that isn't reliable.
We don't actually need to juggle these refcounts between atomic and
percpu switch, we can just do them when we've switched to atomic mode.
This removes the need for FFD_F_ATOMIC, which wasn't reliable.

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.
