[PATCH v3] sched: Store restrict_cpus_allowed_ptr() call state

[Waiman Long <longman@redhat.com>]

The user_cpus_ptr field was originally added by commit b90ca8badbd1
("sched: Introduce task_struct::user_cpus_ptr to track requested
affinity"). It was used only by arm64 arch due to possible asymmetric
CPU setup.

Since commit 8f9ea86fdf99 ("sched: Always preserve the user requested
cpumask"), task_struct::user_cpus_ptr is repurposed to store user
requested cpu affinity specified in the sched_setaffinity().

This results in a slight performance regression on an arm64
system when booted with "allow_mismatched_32bit_el0"
on the command-line.  The arch code will (amongst
other things) calls force_compatible_cpus_allowed_ptr() and
relax_compatible_cpus_allowed_ptr() when exec()'ing a 32-bit or a 64-bit
task respectively. Now a call to relax_compatible_cpus_allowed_ptr()
will always result in a __sched_setaffinity() call whether there is a
previous force_compatible_cpus_allowed_ptr() call or not.

In order to fix this regression, a new scheduler flag
task_struct::cpus_allowed_restricted is now added to track if
force_compatible_cpus_allowed_ptr() has been called before or not. This
patch also updates the comments in force_compatible_cpus_allowed_ptr()
and relax_compatible_cpus_allowed_ptr() and handles their interaction
with sched_setaffinity().

This patch also removes the task_user_cpus() helper. In the case of
relax_compatible_cpus_allowed_ptr(), cpu_possible_mask as user_cpu_ptr
masking will be performed within __sched_setaffinity() anyway.
