After porting my wayland compositor to io_uring, I noticed that my logs
were getting spammed with the following messages (tested with 5.17.7 and
5.18.0-rc7):

    audit: unrecoverable error in audit_syscall_entry()

I traced this to the context not being reset after audit_uring_entry if
the created context was a dummy context. I am surprised that I would be
the first one to find this problem but maybe io_uring is rarely used on
systems where auditing is enabled or a recent kernel change elsewhere
caused this problem to surface.
