[PATCH v3 2/9] cgroup/cpuset: Fix a partition bug with hotplug

[Waiman Long <longman@redhat.com>]

In cpuset_hotplug_workfn(), the detection of whether the cpu list
has been changed is done by comparing the effective cpus of the top
cpuset with the cpu_active_mask. However, in the rare case that just
all the CPUs in the subparts_cpus are offlined, the detection fails
and the partition states are not updated correctly. Fix it by forcing
the cpus_updated flag to true in this particular case.

Fixes: 4b842da276a8 ("cpuset: Make CPU hotplug work with partition")
