  sched: Relax the set_cpus_allowed_ptr() semantics (2021-01-22 15:09:44 +0100)

----------------------------------------------------------------
 - Correct the marking of kthreads which are supposed to run on a specific,
 single CPU vs such which are affine to only one CPU, mark per-cpu workqueue
 threads as such and make sure that marking "survives" CPU hotplug. Fix CPU
 hotplug issues with such kthreads.

 - A fix to not push away tasks on CPUs coming online.

 - Have workqueue CPU hotplug code use cpu_possible_mask when breaking affinity
   on CPU offlining so that pending workers can finish on newly arrived onlined
   CPUs too.

 - Dump tasks which haven't vacated a CPU which is currently being unplugged.

 - Register a special scale invariance callback which gets called on resume
 from RAM to read out APERF/MPERF after resume and thus make the schedutil
 scaling governor more precise.
