Syzkeller reports:

BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in thread_group_cputime+0x409/0x700 kernel/sched/cputime.c:341
Read of size 8 at addr ffff88803578c510 by task syz.2.3223/27552
 Call Trace:

That's due to sqd->task not being cleared properly in cases where
SQPOLL task tctx setup fails, which can essentially only happen with
fault injection to insert allocation errors.
