cpuset: Defer flushing of the cpuset_migrate_mm_wq to task_work

Now in cpuset_attach(), we need to synchronously wait for
flush_workqueue to complete. The execution time of flushing
cpuset_migrate_mm_wq depends on the amount of mm migration initiated by
cpusets at that time. When the cpuset.mems of a cgroup occupying a large
amount of memory is modified, it may trigger extensive mm migration,
causing cpuset_attach() to block on flush_workqueue for an extended period.
This could be dangerous because cpuset_attach() is within the critical
section of cgroup_mutex, which may ultimately cause all cgroup-related
operations in the system to be blocked.

This patch attempts to defer the flush_workqueue() operation until
returning to userspace using the task_work which is originally proposed by
tejun[1], so that flush happens after cgroup_mutex is dropped. That way we
maintain the operation synchronicity while avoiding bothering anyone else.
