cpuset: handle race between CPU hotplug and cpuset_hotplug_work

Browse source 
A discrepancy between cpu_online_mask and cpuset's effective_cpus
mask is inevitable during hotplug since cpuset defers updating of
effective_cpus mask using a workqueue, during which time nothing
prevents the system from more hotplug operations.  For that reason
guarantee_online_cpus() walks up the cpuset hierarchy until it finds
an intersection under the assumption that top cpuset's effective_cpus
mask intersects with cpu_online_mask even with such a race occurring.

However a sequence of CPU hotplugs can open a time window, during which
none of the effective CPUs in the top cpuset intersect with
cpu_online_mask.

For example when there are 4 possible CPUs 0-3 and only CPU0 is online:

  ========================  ===========================
   cpu_online_mask           top_cpuset.effective_cpus
  ========================  ===========================
   echo 1 > cpu2/online.
   CPU hotplug notifier woke up hotplug work but not yet scheduled.
      [0,2]                     [0]

   echo 0 > cpu0/online.
   The workqueue is still runnable.
      [2]                       [0]
  ========================  ===========================

  Now there is no intersection between cpu_online_mask and
  top_cpuset.effective_cpus.  Thus invoking sys_sched_setaffinity() at
  this moment can cause following:

   Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 000000d0

The top cpuset's effective_cpus are guaranteed to be identical to
cpu_online_mask eventually.  Hence fall back to cpu_online_mask when
there is no intersection between top cpuset's effective_cpus and
cpu_online_mask.
