[PATCH v9 6/7] cpuset: Don't rebuild sched domains if cpu changes in non-domain root

[Waiman Long <longman@redhat.com>]

With the cpuset v1, any changes to the list of allowable CPUs in a cpuset
may cause changes in the sched domain configuration depending on the
load balancing states and the cpu lists of its parent and its children.

With cpuset v2 (on default hierarchy), there are more restrictions
on how the load balancing state of a cpuset can change. As a result,
only changes made in a sched domain root will cause possible changes
to the corresponding sched domain. CPU changes to any of the non-domain
root cpusets will not cause changes in the sched domain configuration.
As a result, we don't need to call rebuild_sched_domains_locked()
for changes in a non-domain root cpuset saving precious cpu cycles.
