PATCH RESEND 1/2 cpuset: fix the problem that cpuset_mem_spread_node() returns an offline node (v2)

cpuset_mem_spread_node() returns an offline node, and causes an oops.

This patch fixes it by initializing task->mems_allowed to node_states[N_HIGH_MEMORY], and updating task->mems_allowed when doing memory hotplug.

This one fixed the oops for me, thanks for working on it.

Reported-and-tested-by Nick Piggin <[email protected]>

It could be a stable@ candidate because it trivially oopses when the cpuset_mem_spread_node option is used.
