When enable a remote partition, I found that:

cd /sys/fs/cgroup/
mkdir test
mkdir test/test1
echo +cpuset > cgroup.subtree_control
echo +cpuset > test/cgroup.subtree_control
echo 3 > test/test1/cpuset.cpus
echo root > test/test1/cpuset.cpus.partition
cat test/test1/cpuset.cpus.partition
root invalid (Parent is not a partition root)

The parent of a remote partition could not be a root. This is due to the
emtpy effective_xcpus. It would be better to prompt the message "invalid
cpu list in cpuset.cpus.exclusive".

Since you are changing the meaning of the function returned value, you should also update the return value comment as well.

The xcpus_empty() check should be done for both local and remote partition.
