[LTP] [PATCH] controllers/cpuset_base_ops_testset.sh: Accept either 0 or -EINVAL when passing '0-'

[Cyril Hrubis <chrubis@suse.cz>]

Hi!
> When we write '0-' to cpuset.cpus/cpuset.mems, new bitmap_parselist()
> in kernel(e.g. newer than v4.2) treats it as an invalid value and old
> one treats it as a valid '0':

>  # echo 0- > cpuset.cpus
>  -bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument
>  # echo 0- > cpuset.mems

> 
> on v4.0.0:
>  # echo '0-' >cpuset.cpus
>  # cat cpuset.cpus
>  0
>  # echo '0-' >cpuset.mems

>  0

Why can't we just simply adjust the kernel check, it looks like the
commit you mentioned was added to 4.3 so it should be fixed by changing
the line to:

	if tst_kvcmp -lt "4.3 RHEL6:2.6.32"; then

We want to at least keep the check for kernels newer than 4.3 just to
make sure that kernel keeps rejecting the '0-' invalid value.
