Subject: [PATCH] cpuset: allow empty cpu/node masks

Allow to attach tasks to cpusets with empty cpu/node masks.
Handle empty masks with help guarantee_online_cpus() and guarantee_online_mems()

This aimed to fix attaching tasks to the newly created cgroups in hierarchies with
cpuset subsystem. Cpuset always require initializing cpuset.cpus and cpuset.mems,
because they are empty by default, this fact block task attaching with -ENOSPC.

After this patch empty masks are always handled by waking up the cpuset hierarchy
and searching valid masks on parents. cpuset_attach() already handle it corretly.
