[34-longterm 086/260] sched: _cpu_down(): Don't play with current->cpus_allowed

From: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@redhat.com>

commit 6a1bdc1b577ebcb65f6603c57f8347309bc4ab13 upstream.

_cpu_down() changes the current task's affinity and then recovers it at
the end. The problems are well known: we can't restore old_allowed if it
was bound to the now-dead-cpu, and we can race with the userspace which
can change cpu-affinity during unplug.

_cpu_down() should not play with current->cpus_allowed at all. Instead,
take_cpu_down() can migrate the caller of _cpu_down() after __cpu_disable()
removes the dying cpu from cpu_online_mask.
