[PATCH v2 05/10] cpuset: re-structure update_cpumask() a bit

[Li Zefan <lizefan@huawei.com>]

Check if cpus_allowed is to be changed before calling validate_change().

This won't change any behavior, but later it will allow us to do this:

 # mkdir /cpuset/child
 # echo $$ > /cpuset/child/tasks	/* empty cpuset */
 # echo > /cpuset/child/cpuset.cpus	/* do nothing, won't fail */

Without this patch, the last operation will fail.
