Subject: [PATCH 17/27] sched/isolation: Flush vmstat workqueues on cpuset isolated partition change

The HK_TYPE_DOMAIN housekeeping cpumask is now modifyable at runtime.
In order to synchronize against vmstat workqueue to make sure
that no asynchronous vmstat work is still pending or executing on a
newly made isolated CPU, the housekeeping susbsystem must flush the
vmstat workqueues.

This involves flushing the whole mm_percpu_wq workqueue, shared with
LRU drain, introducing here a welcome side effect.
