I can confirm that this patch makes it work for me. I tested with both
software cryptd and also with my original CAAM encryption workload.
IORING_SETUP_SINGLE_ISSUER | IORING_SETUP_DEFER_TASKRUN is not needed.
Both my simple webserver and the original C++ Webserver from our
customer are now working without problems.

Do you think there is a chance getting this change upstream? I'm a bit
afraid the code originally uses signal_pending() instead of
task_sigpending() for a good reason.
