The clearing of user_cpus_ptr is protected by pi_lock. IOW, racing 
between dup_user_cpus_ptr() and do_set_cpus_allowed is not possible and 
double free like what you have suggested should not happen. Yes, the 
user_cpus_ptr check here is racy. The worst case result is that a 
user_cpus_ptr has just been set in the task to be cloned, but it fail to 
copy over the user mask. With or without the check, the race can happen. 
The check is an optimization. Its effect is just make one outcome more 
likely than the other.
