[PATCH 2/5] cgroup/cpuset: Fix incorrect partition invalidation logic in cpuset_hotplug_update_tasks()

[Waiman Long <longman@redhat.com>]

When most of the active CPUs of a system are allocated to
sub-partitions below the top_cpuset partition, it is possible that a
CPU offline operation may remove the last active CPU in the top_cpuset
partition. When that really happens, cpuset_handle_hotplug() will clear
the subpartitions_cpus to make sure active CPUs are present in the top
partition and let the other sub-partitions get invalidated and then
competes for their exclusive CPUs again.

In cpuset_hotplug_update_tasks(), the current code use
"cpumask_empty(subpartitions_cpus)" to determine if that partition
should be invalidated. That is fine if there is only one sub-partition.
As reported by sashiko that when there are more than one sub-partitions
and the first sub-partition will get invalidated and then it will
try to acquire the exclusive CPUs and become valid again. When this
happens, the subpartitions_cpus will no longer be empty. The remaining
sub-partitions will assume their exclusive CPUs are safe and proceed
as normal. As a result, active CPUs owned by those sub-partitions
remain in both top_cpuset.effective_cpus and the sub-partitions'
effective_cpus while missing from subpartitions_cpus, breaking partition
CPU exclusivity and triggering WARN_ON_ONCE() in generate_sched_domains()
and remote_partition_disable().

Fix that by checking if the sub-partitions' effective_xcpus are subset
of subpartitions_cpus to determine if they should be invalidated.
