[PATCH v2 1/4] cgroup/cpuset: Fix partition root's cpuset.cpus update bug

[Waiman Long <longman@redhat.com>]

It was found that commit 7a2127e66a00 ("cpuset: Call
set_cpus_allowed_ptr() with appropriate mask for task") introduced a bug
that corrupted "cpuset.cpus" of a partition root when it was updated.

It is because the tmp->new_cpus field of the passed tmp parameter
of update_parent_subparts_cpumask() should not be used at all as
it contains important cpumask data that should not be overwritten.
Fix it by using tmp->addmask instead.

Also update update_cpumask() to make sure that trialcs->cpu_allowed
will not be corrupted until it is no longer needed.

Fixes: 7a2127e66a00 ("cpuset: Call set_cpus_allowed_ptr() with appropriate mask for task")
