[PATCH -tip] sched: fix bug that task run on a wrong and unallowed cpu

[Lai Jiangshan]

a1f84a3ab8e002159498814eaa7e48c33752b04b brought a bug that
task may run on a unallowed cpu.

In my box, this bug trigger debug_smp_processor_id()'s complaints:

BUG: using smp_processor_id() in preemptible [00000000] code: events/1/10
caller is vmstat_update+0x2a/0x3e
Pid: 10, comm: events/1 Not tainted 2.6.32-rc6-tip-01796-gd995f1d-dirty #118
Call Trace:

See:
debug_smp_processor_id() {
	.....
	/*
	 * Kernel threads bound to a single CPU can safely use
	 * smp_processor_id():
	 */
	if (cpumask_equal(&current->cpus_allowed, cpumask_of(this_cpu)))
		goto out;
	.....
}

When events/1 run on wrong cpu, cpumask_equal() will fail,
and debug_smp_processor_id() complains.

Ftrace also shows events/1 was run on wrong cpu(cpu#0):

          <idle>-0     [000]   947.573038: perf_event_task_sched_out <-schedule

        events/1-10    [000]   947.573058: flush_to_ldisc <-worker_thread


events/1 should run at cpu#1, but [000] shows it was run at cpu#0

After a1f84a3ab8e002159498814eaa7e48c33752b04b applied,
select_task_rq_fair() select candidate cpu without checking
the p->cpus_allowed. This fix repair it.

That commit is missing an allowed check.

btw, I missed the fact that you were seeing this in latest tip,
otherwise I'd have warned you :)

should be all fixed now - let me know if there's still any problems.
