Because Peter have some concern for patch by Waiman.
We add Hillf's patch to our stability test.
But there are side effects after patched.
The warning appear once < two weeks. 

Backtrace as follows:
[name:panic&]WARNING: CPU: 6 PID: 32583 at affine_move_task
pc : affine_move_task
lr : __set_cpus_allowed_ptr_locked
Call trace:
affine_move_task
__set_cpus_allowed_ptr_locked
migrate_enable
__cgroup_bpf_run_filter_skb
ip_finish_output
ip_output


The root cause is when is_migration_disabled(p) is true，the patched
version will set p->migration_pending to NULL by migration_cpu_stop.
And in affine_move_task will raise a WARN_ON_ONCE(!pending).

Kernel-5.15/kernel/sched/core.c:
static int affine_move_task(struct rq *rq, struct task_struct *p,
struct rq_flags *rf, int dest_cpu, unsigned int flags) {
...
	If (WARN_ON_ONCE(!pending)) {
 	  Task_rq_unlock(rq,p,fr);
  	  return -EINVAL;
	}
...
}

But the tasks have not been migrated to the new affinity CPU, so there
should be pending tasks to be processed, so p->migration_pending should
not be NULL.



Without patch:
When is_migration_disabled is true, then goto out and not set p-
>migration_pending to NULL.

static int migration_cpu_stop(void *data) {
...
	If (task_rq(p) == rq) {
        	     if (is_migration_disabled(p))
                	           goto out;
	}
...
}


With patch:
When is_migration_disabled is true and pending is true, goto else if
flow. Because p->cpus_ptr not updated when migrate_disable, so this
condition is always true and p->migration_pending will set to NULL.

static int migration_cpu_stop(void *data) {
...
	If (task_rq(p) == rq && !is_migration_disabled(p) ) {
 	  ...
	} else if (pending) {
	  ...
	  If (cpumask_test_cpu(task_cpu(p), p-> cpus_ ptr)) { 
        	p->migration_pending = NULL;
      		 complete = true;
      		 goto out;
	}
...
}
