From: Waiman Long <longman@xxxxxxxxxx> commit ba9182a89626d5f83c2ee4594f55cb9c1e60f0e2 upstream. After a successful cpuset_can_attach() call which increments the attach_in_progress flag, either cpuset_cancel_attach() or cpuset_attach() will be called later. In cpuset_attach(), tasks in cpuset_attach_wq, if present, will be woken up at the end. That is not the case in cpuset_cancel_attach(). So missed wakeup is possible if the attach operation is somehow cancelled. Fix that by doing the wakeup in cpuset_cancel_attach() as well.
