[PATCH] sched: cgroup: Move task_can_attach() to cpuset.c

[PATCH] sched: cgroup: Move task_can_attach() to cpuset.c

[Steven Rostedt]

From: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

At our monthly stable meeting, we were talking about documenting non
static functions and randomly picked a function to look at. That was
task_can_attach(). It was then noticed that it's only used by
cgroup/cpuset.c and nothing else. It's a simple function that doesn't
reference anything unique to sched/core.c, hence there's no reason that
function should be there.

Move it to cgroup/cpuset.c as that's the only place it is used. Also make
it a static inline as it is so small.

Nice cleanup. :)

Apparently it became that small with commit 2ef269ef1ac00 ("cgroup/cpuset:
Free DL BW in case can_attach() fails"), maybe we can mention that in the
commit message?

As we're cleaning up, we could just return -EINVAL and 0 directly and get
rid of that ret variable.

Thanks, since you also were the first to notice it is only used in one spot.

That should be a separate patch. Moves should really not do much else. I
even wondered about making it a static inline too, but figured that wasn't
touching the logic, and the function was going to become static anyway.
