io_uring/rw: Free iovec before cleaning async data
kmemleak shows that there is a memory leak in io_uring read operation,
where a buffer is allocated at iovec import, but never de-allocated.
The memory is allocated at io_async_rw->free_iovec, but, then
io_async_rw is kfreed, taking the allocated memory with it. I saw this
happening when the read operation fails with -11 (EAGAIN).
This is the kmemleak splat.

This occurs because the async data cleanup functions are not set for
read/write operations. As a result, the potentially allocated iovec in
the rw async data is not freed before the async data is released,
leading to a memory leak.
With this following patch, kmemleak does not show the leaked memory
anymore, and all liburing tests pass.
