io_uring: consistently use rcu semantics with sqpoll thread

The sqpoll thread is dereferenced with rcu read protection in one place,
so it needs to be annotated as an __rcu type, and should consistently
use rcu helpers for access and assignment to make sparse happy.

Since most of the accesses occur under the sqd->lock, we can use
rcu_dereference_protected() without declaring an rcu read section.
Provide a simple helper to get the thread from a locked context.
