io_uring: fix fget leak when fs don't support nowait buffered read

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

io_uring: fix fget leak when fs don't support nowait buffered read

Heming reported a BUG when using io_uring doing link-cp on ocfs2. [1]

Do the following steps can reproduce this BUG:
mount -t ocfs2 /dev/vdc /mnt/ocfs2
cp testfile /mnt/ocfs2/
./link-cp /mnt/ocfs2/testfile /mnt/ocfs2/testfile.1
umount /mnt/ocfs2

Then umount will fail, and it outputs:
umount: /mnt/ocfs2: target is busy.

While tracing umount, it blames mnt_get_count() not return as expected.
Do a deep investigation for fget()/fput() on related code flow, I've
finally found that fget() leaks since ocfs2 doesn't support nowait
buffered read.

io_issue_sqe
|-io_assign_file  // do fget() first
  |-io_read
  |-io_iter_do_read
    |-ocfs2_file_read_iter  // return -EOPNOTSUPP
  |-kiocb_done
    |-io_rw_done
      |-__io_complete_rw_common  // set REQ_F_REISSUE
    |-io_resubmit_prep
      |-io_req_prep_async  // override req->file, leak happens

This was introduced by commit a196c78b5443 in v5.18. Fix it by don't
re-assign req->file if it has already been assigned.
