Subject: [PATCH v3 5/9] cgroup/cpuset: Clarify the use of invalid partition root

For cpuset partition, the special state of PRS_ERROR (invalid partition
root) was originally designed to handle hotplug events.  In this state,
CPUs allocated to the partition root is released back to the parent
but the cpuset exclusive flags remain unchanged.

Since partition root sets the CPU_EXCLUSIVE flag, cpuset.cpus changes
that break the cpu exclusivity rule will not be allowed. However,
other changes to cpuset.cpus on a partition root may still cause it to
become invalid. This is undesriable as we don't want accidental change
to cpuset.cpus to invalidate a partition root.

Additional checks are now added to make sure that regular cpuset control
file manipulations are not allowed to make a partition root invalid. These
additional checks are:

 1) A partition root can't be changed to member if it has child partition
    roots.
 2) Removing CPUs from cpuset.cpus that causes it to become invalid is
    not allowed.

Comments are also added to clarify that a partition root becomes
invalid only when an external event like hotplug that causes all the
CPUs allocated to a partition root to become unavailable.
