io-wq: write next_work before dropping acct_lock

Commit 361aee450c6e ("io-wq: add intermediate work step between pending
list and active work") closed a race between a cancellation and the work
being removed from the wq for execution.  To ensure the request is
always reachable by the cancellation, we need to move it within the wq
lock, which also synchronizes the cancellation.  But commit
42abc95f05bf ("io-wq: decouple work_list protection from the big
wqe->lock") replaced the wq lock here and accidentally reintroduced the
race by releasing the acct_lock too early.

In other words:

        worker                |     cancellation
work = io_get_next_work()     |
raw_spin_unlock(&acct->lock); |
			      |
                              | io_acct_cancel_pending_work
                              | io_wq_worker_cancel()
worker->next_work = work

Using acct_lock is still enough since we synchronize on it on
io_acct_cancel_pending_work.
