[PATCH v2 2/2] sched_deadline, docs: add affinity setting with cgroup2 cpuset controller

[Shashank Balaji <shashank.mahadasyam@sony.com>]

Setting the cpu affinity mask of a SCHED_DEADLINE process using the cgroup v1
cpuset controller is already detailed. Add similar information for cgroup v2's
cpuset controller.

 5. Tasks CPU affinity
 =====================
 
- -deadline tasks cannot have an affinity mask smaller that the entire
- root_domain they are created on. However, affinities can be specified
- through the cpuset facility (Documentation/admin-guide/cgroup-v1/cpusets.rst).
+ Deadline tasks cannot have a cpu affinity mask smaller than the root domain they
+ are created on. So, using ``sched_setaffinity(2)`` won't work. Instead, the
+ the deadline task should be created in a restricted root domain. This can be
+ done using the cpuset controller of either cgroup v1 (deprecated) or cgroup v2.
+ See :ref:`Documentation/admin-guide/cgroup-v1/cpusets.rst <cpusets>` and
+ :ref:`Documentation/admin-guide/cgroup-v2.rst <cgroup-v2>` for more information.
