Subject[PATCH 3/3] cpu hotplug: don't play with current->cpus_allowed
(replaces cpu_hotplug-dont-affect-current-tasks-affinity.patch)

_cpu_down() changes the current task's affinity and then recovers it at
the end. The problems are well known: we can't restore old_allowed if it
was bound to the now-dead-cpu, and we can race with the userspace which
can change cpu-affinity during unplug.

_cpu_down() should not play with current->cpus_allowed at all. Instead,
take_cpu_down() can migrate the caller of _cpu_down() after __cpu_disable()
removes the dying cpu from cpu_online_mask.
