Subject: [PATCH v3 3/5] cpusets: Update tasks' cpus_allowed mask upon updates
 to root cpuset

The root cpuset's cpus_allowed mask can get updated during CPU hotplug.
However, during those updates, the tasks belonging to the root cpuset
aren't touched at all - their cpus_allowed masks aren't updated to reflect
the change in the configuration of the cpuset they belong to.

Fix this by moving the update of top_cpuset.cpus_allowed to
scan_cpusets_upon_hotplug() and ensure that the call to update_tasks_cpumask()
is not missed out for the root cpuset, including for cpu online events.
