Someone's been screwing around in linux-next during the merge window.
afacit some patch which was previously there has magically disappeared.
That killed your patch - the original version of the
kernel/sched/core.c chagne applies to the new linux-next but the
kernel/cpuset.c part is all wrecked.

There's been a lot of screwing around this time. There were a large
number of rejects merging current linux-next onto current mainline this
morning due to conflicting changes in tools/perf/.
