Can you please take a look at the following pending commit?

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/wq.git/commit/?h=for-4.15-fixes&id=e8b3f8db7aad99fcc5234fc5b89984ff6620de3d

AFAICS, this should remove the circular dependency you originally
reported. I'll revert the two cpuset commits for now.

Thanks.
