> echo root > P/C/cpuset.cpus.partition
> (a task in P)
> echo 2-3 > P/C/cpuset.cpus.exclusive
> cat P/C/cpuset.cpus.partition
> root invalid (Parent is not a partition root)

> The effective_cpus of P is 3, a subset of the new exclusive CPUs 2-3 of
> C, and P has a task, so the expansion is rejected. However, P is not a
> partition root and does not give any CPU to C, and top_cpuset still has
> CPUs 0-1 for the task. Enabling C directly with exclusive CPUs 2-3
> succeeds, as remote_partition_enable() checks top_cpuset instead.
>
> The no CPU left for tasks check now uses the given parent instead of
> parent_cs(cs), and top_cpuset for a remote partition, as that is where
> its CPUs are taken from.
>
> The housekeeping conflict check is folded into validate_partition(). It
> is skipped when the parent is not a valid partition root, as @cs can't
> be a valid local partition in that case.
>
> Use the new interface for local partition enablement in
> update_parent_effective_cpumask() and in partition_cpus_change(),
> replacing the open-coded checks there. The order of the checks is now
> the same for both paths: empty CPUs, housekeeping conflict, then no CPU
> left for tasks.

> Add a test case to test_cpuset_prs.sh for the remote partition
