Subject[RFC] cpuset: Enable changing of top_cpuset's mems_allowed nodemask
Date
At present, top_cpuset.mems_allowed is same as node_states[N_MEMORY] and it
cannot be changed at the runtime. Maximum possible node_states[N_MEMORY]
also gets reflected in top_cpuset.effective_mems interface. It prevents some
one from removing or restricting memory placement which will be applicable
system wide on a given memory node through cpuset mechanism which might be
limiting. This solves the problem by enabling update_nodemask() function to
accept changes to top_cpuset.mems_allowed as well. Once changed, it also
updates the value of top_cpuset.effective_mems. Updates all it's task's
mems_allowed nodemask as well. It calls cpuset_inc() to make sure cpuset
is accounted for in the buddy allocator through cpusets_enabled() check.

Tested for

* Enforcement of changed top_cpuset.mems_allowed
* Global mems_allowed cannot be changed till there are other
cpusets present underneath the top root cpuset. I guess it
is expected.
