[PATCH v10 1/8] cgroup/cpuset: Add top_cpuset check in update_tasks_cpumask()

[Waiman Long <longman-H+wXaHxf7aLQT0dZR+AlfA@public.gmane.org>]

Right now, update_tasks_cpumask() is not supposed to be called with top
cpuset.  With cpuset partition that takes CPUs away from the top cpuset,
we may want to consider adjusting the cpu_allows mask of the tasks in
the top cpuset as well. However, we need more investigation to figure
out a way to do that without breaking non-cgroup aware applications in
the top cpuset. So move the top_cpuset check into update_tasks_cpumask()
and add a comment about possible future work.
