io_uring/io-wq: cache work->flags in variable

This eliminates several redundant atomic reads and therefore reduces
the duration the surrounding spinlocks are held.

In several io_uring benchmarks, this reduced the CPU time spent in
queued_spin_lock_slowpath() considerably:

io_uring benchmark with a flood of `IORING_OP_NOP` and `IOSQE_ASYNC`:
