I did it on IA64 just now. Updating top cpuset's mems is fine.
But I forgot to update the mems_allowed of every task in top cpuset group.
It is difficult to fix it, because I don't know whether updating a memory-bound
task's mem_allowed is good or not.

cpuset_track_online_cpus() has the same problem.
