Subject[PATCH v3.4-rc5] block: iocontext->nr_tasks should be initialized to one
create_task_io_context() left ioc->nr_tasks at zero; however, a newly
created ioc should have its nr_tasks initialized to one as it begins
attached to the task creating it.

This affects only CLONE_IO which currently doesn't seem to have any
actual user. Sasha triggered WARN_ON_ONCE() in ioc_task_link() using
syscall fuzzer. Even when it happens, the failure mode isn't critical
(blk-cgroup may allow attaching a CLONE_IO'd task to a cgroup when it
shouldn't and blkcg limits may behave weirdly).

Fix it by initializing it to one in create_task_io_context().
