cpuset: Fix potential deadlock w/ set_mems_allowed
After adding lockdep support to seqlock/seqcount structures,
I started seeing the following warning:
[ 1.070907] ======================================================
[ 1.072015] [ INFO: SOFTIRQ-safe -> SOFTIRQ-unsafe lock order detected ]
[ 1.073181] 3.11.0+ #67 Not tainted
[ 1.073801] ------------------------------------------------------
[ 1.074882] kworker/u4:2/708 [HC0[0]:SC0[0]:HE0:SE1] is trying to acquire:

[ 1.077572]
[ 1.077572] and this task is already holding:
[ 1.078593] (&(&q->__queue_lock)->rlock){..-...}, at: [<ffffffff81339f03>] blk_execute_rq_nowait+0x53/0xf0
[ 1.080042] which would create a new lock dependency:
[ 1.080042] (&(&q->__queue_lock)->rlock){..-...} -> (&p->mems_allowed_seq){+.+...}
[ 1.080042]
[ 1.080042] but this new dependency connects a SOFTIRQ-irq-safe lock:
[ 1.080042] (&(&q->__queue_lock)->rlock){..-...}
[ 1.080042] ... which became SOFTIRQ-irq-safe at:

[ 1.080042] to a SOFTIRQ-irq-unsafe lock:
[ 1.080042] (&p->mems_allowed_seq){+.+...}
[ 1.080042] ... which became SOFTIRQ-irq-unsafe at:
[ 1.080042] ... [<ffffffff810ec1d3>] __lock_acquire+0x613/0x1db0

[ 1.080042] other info that might help us debug this:

[ 1.080042] CPU0 CPU1
[ 1.080042] ---- ----
[ 1.080042] lock(&p->mems_allowed_seq);
[ 1.080042] local_irq_disable();
[ 1.080042] lock(&(&q->__queue_lock)->rlock);
[ 1.080042] lock(&p->mems_allowed_seq);
[ 1.080042] <Interrupt>
[ 1.080042] lock(&(&q->__queue_lock)->rlock);
[ 1.080042]
[ 1.080042] *** DEADLOCK ***
The issue stems from the kthreadd() function calling set_mems_allowed
with irqs enabled. While its possibly unlikely for the actual deadlock
to trigger, a fix is fairly simple: disable irqs before taking the
mems_allowed_seq lock.
