Subject: [PATCH] cgroup/cpuset: Reserve DL bandwidth only for root-domain
 moves

cpuset_can_attach() currently adds the bandwidth of all migrating
SCHED_DEADLINE tasks to sum_migrate_dl_bw. If the source and destination
cpuset effective CPU masks do not overlap, the whole sum is then
reserved in the destination root domain.

set_cpus_allowed_dl(), however, subtracts bandwidth from the source
root domain only when the affinity change really moves the task between
root domains. A DL task can move between cpusets that are still in the
same root domain, so including that task in sum_migrate_dl_bw can reserve
destination bandwidth without a matching source-side subtraction.

Share the root-domain move test with set_cpus_allowed_dl(). Keep
nr_migrate_dl_tasks counting all migrating deadline tasks for cpuset DL
task accounting, but add to sum_migrate_dl_bw only for tasks that need a
root-domain bandwidth move. Keep using the destination cpuset effective
CPU mask and leave the broader can_attach()/attach() transaction model
unchanged.

Fixes: 2ef269ef1ac0 ("cgroup/cpuset: Free DL BW in case can_attach() fails")
