[PATCH v3 7/7] cpuset: fix to migrate mm correctly in a corner case

[Li Zefan]

Before moving tasks out of empty cpusets, update_tasks_nodemask()
is called, which calls do_migrate_pages(xx, from, to). Then those
tasks are moved to an ancestor, and do_migrate_pages() is called
again.

The first time: from = node_to_be_offlined, to = empty.
The second time: from = empty, to = ancestor's nodemask.

so looks like no pages will be migrated.

Fix this by:

- Don't call update_tasks_nodemask() on empty cpusets.
- Pass cs->old_mems_allowed to do_migrate_pages().
