io_uring/io-wq: clear current->worker_private on exit

A recent fix stopped clearing PF_IO_WORKER from current->flags on exit,
which meant that we can now call inc/dec running on the worker after it
has been removed if it ends up scheduling in/out as part of exit.

If this happens after an RCU grace period has passed, then the struct
pointed to by current->worker_private may have been freed, and we can
now be accessing memory that is freed.

Ensure this doesn't happen by clearing the task worker_private field.
Both io_wq_worker_running() and io_wq_worker_sleeping() check this
field before going any further, and we don't need any accounting etc
done after this worker has exited.
