Subject: [PATCH 1/1] hotplug cpu: move tasks in empty cpusets to parent



This patch corrects a situation that occurs when one disables all the cpus
in a cpuset.

At that point, any tasks in that cpuset were incorrectly moved.
(Disabling all cpus in a cpuset caused it to inherit the cpus
 of its parent, which may overlap its exclusive sibling.)

Such tasks should be moved to the parent of their current cpuset. Or if the
parent cpuset has no cpus, to its parent, etc.

And the empty cpuset should be removed (if it is flagged notify_on_release).

This patch uses a workqueue thread to call the function that deletes the cpuset.
That way we avoid the complexity of the cpuset locks.

(I've been working with Paul Jackson on this patch, and there is still a
 little functional subtlety to work out. Can be tweaked later.)

Diffed against 2.6.21
