[PATCH-cgroup 3/5] cgroup/cpuset: Eliminate unncessary sched domains rebuilds in hotplug

[Waiman Long <longman@redhat.com>]

It was found that some hotplug operations may cause multiple
rebuild_sched_domains_locked() calls. Some of those intermediate calls
may use cpuset states not in the final correct form leading to incorrect
sched domain setting.

Fix this problem by using the existing force_rebuild flag to inhibit
immediate rebuild_sched_domains_locked() calls if set and only doing
one final call at the end. Also renaming the force_rebuild flag to
force_sd_rebuild to make its meaning for clear.
