I like this PATCH - thank-you.  It was definitely a bug that
trying to add a nonexistent CPU to a cpuset emptied that cpuset
of its current CPUs, returning "success", not an "error".

(By the way, the word "inexistent" is not so commonly used
as is the word "nonexistent", but both words are legitimate,
and mean the same thing.)
