[PATCH v3 2/3] sched/core: Don't mix isolcpus and housekeeping CPUs

[Srikar Dronamraju]

Load balancer and NUMA balancer are not suppose to work on isolcpus.

Currently when setting cpus_allowed for a task, there are no checks to see
if the requested cpumask has CPUs from both isolcpus and housekeeping CPUs.

If user passes a mix of isolcpus and housekeeping CPUs, then NUMA balancer
can pick a isolcpu to schedule.  With this change, if a combination of
isolcpus and housekeeping CPUs are provided, then we restrict it to
housekeeping CPUs only.

For example: System with 32 CPUs
$ grep -o "isolcpus=[,,1-9]*" /proc/cmdline
isolcpus=1,5,9,13
$ grep -i cpus_allowed /proc/$$/status
Cpus_allowed:   ffffdddd
Cpus_allowed_list:      0,2-4,6-8,10-12,14-31

Running "perf bench numa mem --no-data_rand_walk -p 4 -t 8 -G 0 -P 3072
-T 0 -l 50 -c -s 1000" which  calls sched_setaffinity to all CPUs in
system.

Without patch

$ for i in $(pgrep -f perf); do  grep -i cpus_allowed_list  /proc/$i/task/*/status ; done | head -n 10

Changelog v2->v3:
The actual detection is moved to set_cpus_allowed_common from
sched_setaffinity. This helps to solve all cases where task cpus_allowed is
set.
