    cpuset: update cs->effective_{cpus, mems} when config changes · 734d4513

    We're going to have separate user-configured masks and effective ones.
    
    Eventually configured masks can only be changed by writing cpuset.cpus
    and cpuset.mems, and they won't be restricted by parent cpuset. While
    effective masks reflect cpu/memory hotplug and hierachical restriction,
    and these are the real masks that apply to the tasks in the cpuset.
    
    We calculate effective mask this way:
      - top cpuset's effective_mask == online_mask, otherwise
      - cpuset's effective_mask == configured_mask & parent effective_mask,
        if the result is empty, it inherits parent effective mask.
    
    Those behavior changes are for default hierarchy only. For legacy
    hierarchy, effective_mask and configured_mask are the same, so we won't
    break old interfaces.
    
    To make cs->effective_{cpus,mems} to be effective masks, we need to
      - update the effective masks at hotplug
      - update the effective masks at config change
      - take on ancestor's mask when the effective mask is empty
    
    The second item is done here. We don't need to treat root_cs specially
    in update_cpumasks_hier().
    
    This won't introduce behavior change.
    
    v3:
    - add a WARN_ON() to check if effective masks are the same with configured
      masks on legacy hierarchy.
    - pass trialcs->cpus_allowed to update_cpumasks_hier() and add a comment for
      it. Similar change for update_nodemasks_hier(). Suggested by Tejun.
    
    v2:
    - revise the comment in update_{cpu,node}masks_hier(), suggested by Tejun.
    - fix to use @cp instead of @cs in these two functions.
