Subject: [PATCH] cgroup/cpuset: Reset DL migration state on can_attach()
 failure

cpuset_can_attach() accumulates temporary SCHED_DEADLINE migration
state in the destination cpuset while walking the taskset.

If a later task_can_attach() or security_task_setscheduler() check
fails, cgroup_migrate_execute() treats cpuset as the failing subsystem
and does not call cpuset_cancel_attach() for it. The partially
accumulated state is then left behind and can be consumed by a later
attach, corrupting cpuset DL task accounting and pending DL bandwidth
accounting.

Reset the pending DL migration state from the common error exit when
ret is non-zero. Successful can_attach() keeps the state for
cpuset_attach() or cpuset_cancel_attach().

Fixes: 2ef269ef1ac0 ("cgroup/cpuset: Free DL BW in case can_attach() fails")
