[PATCH v9 6/7] sched: Fix sched_setaffinity() and fork/clone() race

[Waiman Long]

sched_setaffinity() can also race with a concurrent fork/clone() syscall
calling dup_user_cpus_ptr(). That may lead to a use after free problem.
Fix that by protecting the cpumask copying using pi_lock of the source
task.
