[PATCH/for-next 0/2] cgroup/cpuset: Fix partition related locking issues

[Waiman Long <longman@redhat.com>]

After booting the latest cgroup for-next debug kernel with the latest
cgroup changes as well as Federic's "cpuset/isolation: Honour kthreads
preferred affinity" patch series [1] merged on top and running the
test-cpuset-prs.sh test, a circular locking dependency lockdep splat
was reported. See patch 2 for details.

The following changes are made to resolve this locking problem.
 1) Deferring calling housekeeping_update() from CPU hotplug to task work
 2) Release cpus_read_lock before calling housekeeping_update()

With these changes, the cpuset test ran to completion with no failure
and no lockdep splat.
