[PATCH-cgroup v2] cgroup/cpuset: Enable invalid to valid local partition transition

From: Waiman Long
Date: Tue Oct 03 2023 - 10:45:29 EST

When a local partition becomes invalid, it won't transition back to
valid partition automatically if a proper "cpuset.cpus.exclusive" or
"cpuset.cpus" change is made. Instead, system administrators have to
explicitly echo "root" or "isolated" into the "cpuset.cpus.partition"
file at the partition root.

This patch now enables the automatic transition of an invalid local
partition back to valid when there is a proper "cpuset.cpus.exclusive"
or "cpuset.cpus" change.

Automatic transition of an invalid remote partition to a valid one,
however, is not covered by this patch. They still need an explicit
write to "cpuset.cpus.partition" to become valid again.

The test_cpuset_prs.sh test script is updated to add new test cases to
test this automatic state transition.
