In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

io_uring: fix memleak in io_init_wq_offload()

I got memory leak report when doing fuzz test:

hash = kzalloc hash = kzalloc
ctx->hash_map = hash ctx->hash_map = hash <- one of the hash is leaked

When calling io_uring_enter() in parallel, the 'hash_map' will be leaked,
add uring_lock to protect 'hash_map'.
