Subject: [PATCH v5 0/2] vmscan: enforce mems_effective during demotion

Change reclaim to respect cpuset.mems_effective during demotion when
possible. Presently, reclaim explicitly ignores cpuset.mems_effective
when demoting, which may cause the cpuset settings to violated.

Implement cpuset_node_allowed() to check the cpuset.mems_effective
associated wih the mem_cgroup of the lruvec being scanned. This only
applies to cgroup/cpuset v2, as cpuset exists in a different hierarchy
than mem_cgroup in v1.

This requires renaming the existing cpuset_node_allowed() to be
cpuset_current_now_allowed() - which is more descriptive anyway - to
implement the new cpuset_node_allowed() which takes a target cgroup.

v5:
- squash drop rcu_read_lock fixlet into second patch,
- changelog fixups
