Chen Ridong 06a5e91764 cpuset: Treat cpusets in attaching as populated
[ Upstream commit b1bcaed1e39a9e0dfbe324a15d2ca4253deda316 ]

Currently, the check for whether a partition is populated does not
account for tasks in the cpuset of attaching. This is a corner case
that can leave a task stuck in a partition with no effective CPUs.

The race condition occurs as follows:

cpu0				cpu1
				//cpuset A  with cpu N
migrate task p to A
cpuset_can_attach
// with effective cpus
// check ok

// cpuset_mutex is not held	// clear cpuset.cpus.exclusive
				// making effective cpus empty
				update_exclusive_cpumask
				// tasks_nocpu_error check ok
				// empty effective cpus, partition valid
cpuset_attach
...
// task p stays in A, with non-effective cpus.

To fix this issue, this patch introduces cs_is_populated, which considers
tasks in the attaching cpuset. This new helper is used in validate_change
and partition_is_populated.
