Subject: [PATCH] sched/core: fix regression in cpuset_cpu_inactive for suspend

Commit 3c18d447b3b3 ("sched/core: Check for available DL bandwidth in
cpuset_cpu_inactive()"), a SCHED_DEADLINE bugfix, had a logic error that
caused a regression in setting a CPU inactive during suspend. I ran into
this when a program was failing pthread_setaffinity_np() with EINVAL after
a suspend+wake up. A simple reproducer:

$ ./a.out
sched_setaffinity: Success
$ systemctl suspend
[wake up from suspend]
$ ./a.out
sched_setaffinity: Invalid argument

Where ./a.out is:

	#define _GNU_SOURCE
	#include <errno.h>
	#include <sched.h>
	#include <stdio.h>
	#include <stdlib.h>
	#include <string.h>
	#include <unistd.h>

	int main(void)
	{
		long num_cores;
		cpu_set_t cpu_set;
		int ret;

		num_cores = sysconf(_SC_NPROCESSORS_ONLN);
		CPU_ZERO(&cpu_set);
		CPU_SET(num_cores - 1, &cpu_set);
		errno = 0;
		ret = sched_setaffinity(getpid(), sizeof(cpu_set), &cpu_set);
		perror("sched_setaffinity");
		return ret ? EXIT_FAILURE : EXIT_SUCCESS;
	}

The mistake is that suspend is handled in the action ==
CPU_DOWN_PREPARE_FROZEN case of the switch statement in
cpuset_cpu_inactive. However, the commit in question masked out
CPU_TASKS_FROZEN from the action, making this case dead. The fix is
straightforward.

Fixes: 3c18d447b3b3 ("sched/core: Check for available DL bandwidth in
cpuset_cpu_inactive()")

This applies to v4.1-rc2.

I'm not familiar with this part of the kernel at all, but this Seems
Right (TM). If it isn't, consider this a bug report-plus.

Thanks!
