This adds a liburing regression test that exercises io_uring creating an io-wq
worker (iou-wrk-) and verifies that the worker does not linger once the
last ring is closed.
On kernels without the corresponding io-wq change, the test reliably fails
because an idle iou-wrk thread can remain in the thread group indefinitely.
With the kernel change applied, the same workload passes, as the worker exits
shortly after the last ring is closed.
The test triggers io-wq by issuing regular file I/O via io_uring (splice
through a pipe), checks that iou-wrk appears under /proc/self/task, closes the
ring, and then waits up to 2s for all iou-wrk threads to disappear.
To run the test, build liburing and run ./test/io-wq-unused-exit.t.
