Subject: [PATCH] sched/core: Fix NULL pointer access fault in sched_setaffinity() with non-SMP configs
The kernel commit 9a5418bc48ba ("sched/core: Use kfree_rcu() in
do_set_cpus_allowed()") introduces a bug for kernels built with non-SMP
configs. Calling sched_setaffinity() on such a uniprocessor kernel will
cause cpumask_copy() to be called with a NULL pointer leading to general
protection fault. This is not really a problem in real use cases as
there aren't that many uniprocessor kernel configs in use and calling
sched_setaffinity() on such a uniprocessor system doesn't make sense.
Fix this problem by making sure cpumask_copy() will not be called in
such a case.
Fixes: 9a5418bc48ba ("sched/core: Use kfree_rcu() in do_set_cpus_allowed()")
