[PATCH] cpuset: Make cpuset hotplug synchronous

[Prateek Sood]

Hi Tejun & Peter,

It seems that after following patch we can make cpuset_hotplug_workfn
synchronous:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/kernel/cgroup/cpuset.c?h=v5.5-rc7&id=d74b27d63a8bebe2fe634944e4ebdc7b10db7a39


Could you please share your opinion on the same and below patch. 

Thanks,
Prateek

Convert cpuset_hotplug_workfn() into synchronous call for cpu hotplug
path. For memory hotplug path it still gets queued as a work item.

Since cpuset_hotplug_workfn() can be made synchronous for cpu hotplug
path, it is not required to wait for cpuset hotplug while thawing
processes.
