cpusets: update task's cpus_allowed and mems_allowed after CPU/NODE offline/online

Browse source 
The bug is that a task may run on the cpu/node which is not in its
cpuset.cpus/ cpuset.mems.

It can be reproduced by the following commands:
-----------------------------------
# mkdir /dev/cpuset
# mount -t cpuset xxx /dev/cpuset
# mkdir /dev/cpuset/0
# echo 0-1 > /dev/cpuset/0/cpus
# echo 0 > /dev/cpuset/0/mems
# echo $$ > /dev/cpuset/0/tasks
# echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online
# echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online
-----------------------------------

There is only CPU0 in cpuset.cpus, but the task in this cpuset runs on
both CPU0 and CPU1.

It is because the task's cpu_allowed didn't get updated after we did CPU
offline/online manipulation.  Similar for mem_allowed.

This patch fixes this bug expect for root cpuset.  Because there is a
problem about root cpuset, in that whether it is necessary to update all
the tasks in root cpuset or not after cpu/node offline/online.

If updating, some kernel threads which is bound into a specified cpu will
be unbound.

If not updating, there is a bug in root cpuset.  This bug is also caused
by offline/online manipulation.  For example, there is a dual-cpu machine.
 we create a sub cpuset in root cpuset and assign 1 to its cpus.  And then
we attach some tasks into this sub cpuset.  After this, we offline CPU1.
Now, the tasks in this new cpuset are moved into root cpuset automatically
because there is no cpu in sub cpuset.  Then we online CPU1, we find all
the tasks which doesn't belong to root cpuset originally just run on CPU0.

Maybe we need to add a flag in the task_struct to mark which task can't be
unbound?
