Subject: [PATCH 2/4] cpuset: rewrite update_tasks_nodemask()
This patch uses cgroup_scan_tasks() to rebind tasks' vmas to new cpuset's
mems_allowed.
Not only simplify the code largely, but also avoid allocating an array
to hold mm pointers of all the tasks in the cpuset. This array can be big
(size > PAGESIZE) if we have lots of tasks in that cpuset, thus has a
chance to fail the allocation when under memory stress.
