Subject: cpuset: make sure new tasks conform to the current config of the cpuset

From: Zefan Li <[email protected]>

commit 06f4e94898918bcad00cdd4d349313a439d6911e upstream.

A new task inherits cpus_allowed and mems_allowed masks from its parent, but if someone changes cpuset's config by writing to cpuset.cpus/cpuset.mems before this new task is inserted into the cgroup's task list, the new task won't be updated accordingly.
