    Fix cpusets update_cpumask · 8707d8b8

    Cause writes to cpuset "cpus" file to update cpus_allowed for member tasks:
    
    - collect batches of tasks under tasklist_lock and then call
      set_cpus_allowed() on them outside the lock (since this can sleep).
    
    - add a simple generic priority heap type to allow efficient collection
      of batches of tasks to be processed without duplicating or missing any
      tasks in subsequent batches.
    
    - make "cpus" file update a no-op if the mask hasn't changed
    
    - fix race between update_cpumask() and sched_setaffinity() by making
      sched_setaffinity() post-check that it's not running on any cpus outside
      cpuset_cpus_allowed().
