Subject: [PATCH 2/3] cpusets: rework guarantee_online_cpus() to fix
	deadlock with cpu_down()

Suppose that task T bound to CPU takes callback_mutex. If cpu_down(CPU)
happens before T drops callback_mutex we have a deadlock.

stop_machine() preempts T, then migration_call(CPU_DEAD) tries to take
cpuset_lock() and hangs forever because CPU is already dead and thus
T can't be scheduled.

To simplify the testing, I added schedule_timeout_interruptible(3*HZ)
to cpuset_sprintf_cpulist() under mutex_lock(callback_mutex). Then,

	mkdir -p /dev/cpuset
	mount -t cgroup -ocpuset cpuset /dev/cpuset
	mkdir -p /dev/cpuset/XXX
	taskset -p 2 $$
	cat /dev/cpuset/XXX/cpuset.cpus

and, on another console,

	echo 0 >> /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online

Before this patch cpuset/hotplug subsytems deadlock, after this patch
everething is OK.

Since the previous patch we can access cs->cpus_allowed safely either
under the global callback_mutex or cs->cpumask_lock.

This patch:

	- kills cpuset_lock() and cpuset_cpus_allowed_locked()

	- converts move_task_off_dead_cpu() to use cpuset_cpus_allowed()

Then we change guarantee_online_cpus(),

	- take cs->cpumask_lock instead of callback_mutex

	- do NOT scan cs->parent cpusets. If there are no online CPUs in
	  cs->cpus_allowed, we use cpu_online_mask. This is only possible
	  when we are called by cpu_down() hooks, in that case
	  cpuset_track_online_cpus(CPU_DEAD) will fix things later.

In particular, this all means sched_setaffinity() takes the per cpuset
spinlock instead of global callback_mutex, and hotplug can forget about
complications added by cpusets.
