Subject: [PATCH -next 21/21] cpuset: Remove unnecessary validation in partition_cpus_change

From: Chen Ridong <chenridong@...wei.com>

When user-configured CPUs (including cpuset.cpus and cpuset.cpus.exclusive)
are modified, the partition may either be disabled or updated. Both local
and remote partitions update can fully validate their own validity: if the
validation fails, the partition will be disabled. Therefore, the
validationin partition_cpus_change is redundant and can be removed.
