Return EINVAL, if the user has passed a mix of isolcpus and housekeeping CPUs in cpumask to sched_setaffinity(). This will ensure that users are notified so that they can take corrective actions to ensure consistent behaviour. This might cause a change in sched_setaffinity behaviour when isolcpus is set.
