[PATCH v3 3/3] sched/core: Error out if cpumask has a mix of isolcpus and housekeeping CPUs

[Srikar Dronamraju]

Return EINVAL, if the user has passed a mix of isolcpus and housekeeping
CPUs in cpumask to sched_setaffinity(). This will ensure that users are
notified so that they can take corrective actions to ensure consistent
behaviour. This might cause a change in sched_setaffinity behaviour when
isolcpus is set.
