Subject: [PATCH 2/2] cpuset,mm: fix no node to alloc memory when changing
 cpuset's mems

Before applying this patch, cpuset updates task->mems_allowed and mempolicy by
setting all new bits in the nodemask first, and clearing all old unallowed bits
later. But in the way, the allocator may find that there is no node to alloc
memory.

The reason is that cpuset rebinds the task's mempolicy, it cleans the nodes which
the allocater can alloc pages on, for example:
(mpol: mempolicy)
	task1			task1's mpol	task2
	alloc page		1
	  alloc on node0? NO	1
				1		change mems from 1 to 0
				1		rebind task1's mpol
				0-1		  set new bits
				0	  	  clear disallowed bits
	  alloc on node1? NO	0
	  ...
	can't alloc page
	  goto oom

This patch fixes this problem by expanding the nodes range first(set newly
allowed bits) and shrink it lazily(clear newly disallowed bits). So we use a
variable to tell the write-side task that read-side task is reading nodemask,
and the write-side task clears newly disallowed nodes after read-side task ends
the current memory allocation.
