syzkaller reported an issue where it looks like a malicious app can
trigger a use-after-free of reading the ctx ->sq_array and ->rings
value right after having installed the ring fd in the process file
table.
Defer ring fd installation until after we're done reading those
values.
Fixes: 75b28affdd ("io_uring: allocate the two rings together")

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
