[PATCH v2] cgroup/cpuset: Remove cpus_allowed/mems_allowed setup in cpuset_init_smp()

[Waiman Long <longman@redhat.com>]

There are 3 places where the cpu and node masks of the top cpuset can
be initialized in the order they are executed:
 1) start_kernel -> cpuset_init()
 2) start_kernel -> cgroup_init() -> cpuset_bind()
 3) kernel_init_freeable() -> do_basic_setup() -> cpuset_init_smp()

The first cpuset_init() function just sets all the bits in the masks.
The last one executed is cpuset_init_smp() which sets up cpu and node
masks suitable for v1, but not v2.  cpuset_bind() does the right setup
for both v1 and v2.

For systems with cgroup v2 setup, cpuset_bind() is called once. For
systems with cgroup v1 setup, cpuset_bind() is called twice. It is
first called before cpuset_init_smp() in cgroup v2 mode.  Then it is
called again when cgroup v1 filesystem is mounted in v1 mode after
cpuset_init_smp().

  [    2.609781] cpuset_bind() called - v2 = 1
  [    3.079473] cpuset_init_smp() called
  [    7.103710] cpuset_bind() called - v2 = 0

As a result, cpu and memory node hot add may fail to update the cpu and
node masks of the top cpuset to include the newly added cpu or node in
a cgroup v2 environment.

smp_init() is called after the first two init functions.  So we don't
have a complete list of active cpus and memory nodes until later in
cpuset_init_smp() which is the right time to set up effective_cpus
and effective_mems.

To fix this problem, the potentially incorrect cpus_allowed &
mems_allowed setup in cpuset_init_smp() are removed.  For cgroup v2
systems, the initial cpuset_bind() call will set them up correctly.
For cgroup v1 systems, the second call to cpuset_bind() will do the
right setup.
