Subject: [PATCH RT 07/25] sched: __set_cpus_allowed_ptr: Check cpus_mask, not cpus_ptr

From: Scott Wood <swood@...hat.com>

v4.14.170-rt75-rc1 stable review patch.
If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

-----------


[ Upstream commit e5606fb7b042db634ed62b4dd733d62e050e468f ]

This function is concerned with the long-term cpu mask, not the
transitory mask the task might have while migrate disabled.  Before
this patch, if a task was migrate disabled at the time
__set_cpus_allowed_ptr() was called, and the new mask happened to be
equal to the cpu that the task was running on, then the mask update
would be lost.
