Subject: [PATCHv6 1/2] cgroup/cpuset: Introduce cpuset_cpus_allowed_locked()

cpuset_cpus_allowed() uses a reader lock that is sleepable under RT,
which means it cannot be called inside raw_spin_lock_t context.

Introduce a new cpuset_cpus_allowed_locked() helper that performs the
same function as cpuset_cpus_allowed() except that the caller must have
acquired the cpuset_mutex so that no further locking will be needed.
