Subject: [PATCH] cpuset and sched domains: sched_load_balance flag fixes

From: Paul Jackson <pj@....com>

Thanks to Randy Dunlap for the review that caught
some of the following.

Some bug fixes and coding style fixes:
 1) only one statement per line, please.
 2) don't need to guard kfree() calls with a NULL check
 3) use kfifo_free, not kfree, if it came from kfifo_alloc
 4) a pair of curly brackets got lost along the way
 5) missing .read, .write callbacks for sched_load_balance

Without (3), one kfifo buffer memory was leaked each time
one rebuilt scheduler domains

Without (4), the current task was summarily killed each
time one tried to rebuild scheduler domains

Without (5), every read or write system call on a per-cpuset
special file 'sched_load_balance' failed, EINVAL.

Andrew,
