Subject: [PATCH] cgroup/cpuset: Remove redundant cpu/node masks setup in cpuset_init_smp()

There are 3 places where the cpu and node masks of the top cpuset can
be initialized in the order they are executed:
 1) start_kernel -> cpuset_init()
 2) start_kernel -> cgroup_init() -> cpuset_bind()
 3) kernel_init_freeable() -> do_basic_setup() -> cpuset_init_smp()

The first cpuset_init() function just sets all the bits in the masks.
The last one executed is cpuset_init_smp() which sets up cpu and node
masks suitable for v1, but not v2.  cpuset_bind() does the right setup
for both v1 and v2 assuming that effective_mems and effective_cpus have
been set up properly which is not strictly the case here. As a result,
cpu and memory node hot add may fail to update the cpu and node masks
of the top cpuset to include the newly added cpu or node in a cgroup
v2 environment.

To fix this problem, the redundant cpus_allowed and mems_allowed
mask setup in cpuset_init_smp() are removed. The effective_cpus and
effective_mems setup there are moved to cpuset_bind().
