[PATCH -v2] cpuset: hotplug documentation fix

[Li Zefan <lizf@cn.fujitsu.com>]

If all the cpus in a cpuset are offlined, the tasks in it will
be moved to the nearest ancestor with non-empty cpus.

 There is an exception to the above.  If hotplug functionality is used
 to remove all the CPUs that are currently assigned to a cpuset,
-then the kernel will automatically update the cpus_allowed of all
-tasks attached to CPUs in that cpuset to allow all CPUs.  When memory
-hotplug functionality for removing Memory Nodes is available, a
-similar exception is expected to apply there as well.  In general,
-the kernel prefers to violate cpuset placement, over starving a task
-that has had all its allowed CPUs or Memory Nodes taken offline.  User
-code should reconfigure cpusets to only refer to online CPUs and Memory
-Nodes when using hotplug to add or remove such resources.

 There is a second exception to the above.  GFP_ATOMIC requests are
 kernel internal allocations that must be satisfied, immediately.
