cpusets+hotplug+preempt hangs up the machine, if both
cpuset and hotplug operations are going on simultaneously

I also get this oops first

It looks like hotplug operations need to take cpuset_sem as well.

Here is a patch against 2.6.12-rc2-mm3. Should apply against rc3-mm3 as well
This has been tested and seems to fix the problem
