Subject: [PATCH 3.10 19/40] sched: Fix hotplug vs. set_cpus_allowed_ptr()

3.10-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Lai Jiangshan <laijs@...fujitsu.com>

commit 6acbfb96976fc3350e30d964acb1dbbdf876d55e upstream.

Lai found that:

  WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 13 at arch/x86/kernel/smp.c:124 native_smp_send_reschedule+0x2d/0x4b()
  ...
  migration_cpu_stop+0x1d/0x22

was caused by set_cpus_allowed_ptr() assuming that cpu_active_mask is
always a sub-set of cpu_online_mask.

This isn't true since 5fbd036b552f ("sched: Cleanup cpu_active madness").

So set active and online at the same time to avoid this particular
problem.

Fixes: 5fbd036b552f ("sched: Cleanup cpu_active madness")
