[PATCH 1/1] audit, io_uring, io-wq: call __audit_uring_exit for dummy contexts

Not calling the function for dummy contexts will cause the context to
not be reset. During the next syscall, this will cause an error in
__audit_syscall_entry:

	WARN_ON(context->context != AUDIT_CTX_UNUSED);
	WARN_ON(context->name_count);
	if (context->context != AUDIT_CTX_UNUSED || context->name_count) {
		audit_panic("unrecoverable error in audit_syscall_entry()");
		return;
	}

These problematic dummy contexts are created via the following call
chain:

       exit_to_user_mode_prepare
    -> arch_do_signal_or_restart
    -> get_signal
    -> task_work_run
    -> tctx_task_work
    -> io_req_task_submit
    -> io_issue_sqe
    -> audit_uring_entry

Fixes: 5bd2182d58e9 ("audit,io_uring,io-wq: add some basic audit support to io_uring")
