Subject: [PATCH 1/2] cpuset: fix cpuset_cpus_allowed_fallback() don't update tsk->rt.nr_cpus_allowed

The rule is, we have to update tsk->rt.nr_cpus_allowed too if we change
tsk->cpus_allowed. Otherwise RT scheduler may confuse.

This patch fixes it.

btw, system_state checking is very important. current boot sequence is (1) smp_init
(ie secondary cpus up and created cpu bound kthreads). (2) sched_init_smp().
Then following bad scenario can be happen,

(1) cpuup call notifier(CPU_UP_PREPARE)
(2) A cpu notifier consumer create FIFO kthread
(3) It call kthread_bind()
   ... but, now secondary cpu haven't ONLINE
(3) schedule() makes fallback and cpuset_cpus_allowed_fallback
    change task->cpus_allowed
(4) find_lowest_rq() touch local_cpu_mask if task->rt.nr_cpus_allowed != 1,
    but it haven't been initialized.

RCU folks plan to introduce such FIFO kthread and our testing hitted the
above issue. Then this patch also protect it.
