[PATCH] cpuset decrustify update and validate masks

[Paul Jackson <pj@sgi.com>]

From: Paul Jackson <pj@sgi.com>

The kernel/cpuset.c code handling the updating of a cpusets
'cpus' and 'mems' masks was starting to look a little bit
crufty to me.

So I rewrote it a little bit.  Other than subtle improvements
in the consistency of identifying white space at the beginning
and end of passed in masks, I don't see that it makes any
visible difference in behaviour.  But it's one or two hundred
kernel text bytes smaller, and to my eye, easier to understand.
