v4:
- Add missing rcu_read_lock/unlock to cpuset_cancel_fork() in patch 3.
- Add patch 5 to reduce performance impact for the
non-CLONE_INTO_CGROUP case.

v3:
- Update patches 2 & 3 to put task_cs() call under rcu_read_lock().

v2:
- Drop v1 patch 3
- Add a new patch to fix an issue in cpuset_cancel_attach() and
another patch to add cpuset_can_fork() and cpuset_cacnel_fork()
methods.

The first patch in this series fixes a problem in
cpuset_cancel_attach(). Patches 2 and 3 fixes the CLONE_INTO_CGROUP
problem in cpuset. Patch 4 is a minor fix. The last patch is a
performance optimization patch for the non-CLONE_INTO_CGROUP case.
Applied 1-4 to cgroup/for-6.3-fixes w/ stable cc'd. Given that the fixes are
a bit involved, the breakages have been there for quite a while and the
cpuset code has changed quite a bit, backporting might not be trivial tho.
Let's see how that goes.

I know stable backport won't be straight forward. I am planning to help in the backporting effort. Thanks for taking these into your cgroup tree.

Cheers,
