Description
While investigating some performance problems related to the newly introduced windows-2022 runner, I discovered that the checkout post run never ends, getting stuck forever https://github.com/ssbarnea/gha-bug/runs/5287610624?check_suite_focus=true
Even cancelling the workflow does not work!
The workflows used to reproduce this is simple as I was using it specially to debug regressions related to 2022 WSL, see https://github.com/ssbarnea/gha-bug/pull/1
It is clearly visible that jobs on ubuntu and on windows-2019 with wsl1 passed normally in like a minute while the other one got stuck.

Research direction
Start with the linked reproduction workflow and run 5287610624, comparing the Ubuntu, Windows 2019 with WSL1, and Windows 2022 jobs. Confirm that actions/checkout@v2 remains stuck during its post-run phase and that cancellation fails; done means the Windows 2022 checkout completes and the workflow can be cancelled normally.
