Subject: [PATCH 11/27] block: Protect against concurrent isolated cpuset change

The block subsystem prevents running the workqueue to isolated CPUs,
including those defined by cpuset isolated partitions. Since
HK_TYPE_DOMAIN will soon contain both and be subject to runtime
modifications, synchronize against housekeeping using the relevant lock.

For full support of cpuset changes, the block subsystem may need to
propagate changes to isolated cpumask through the workqueue in the
future.
