Subject[28/98] sched: Fix isolcpus boot option
2.6.32-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>

commit bdddd2963c0264c56f18043f6fa829d3c1d3d1c0 upstream.

I introduced this regression in 49557e620339cb13 (sched: Fix
boot crash by zalloc()ing most of the cpu masks).

Use the bootmem allocator if they set isolcpus=, otherwise
allocate and zero like normal.
