    cpuset: allow writing offlined masks to cpuset.cpus/mems · 5d8ba82c

    As the configured masks won't be limited by its parent, and the top
    cpuset's masks won't change when hotplug happens, it's natural to
    allow writing offlined masks to the configured masks.
    
    If on default hierarchy:
    
    	# echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online
    	# mkdir /cpuset/sub
    	# echo 1 > /cpuset/sub/cpuset.cpus
    	# cat /cpuset/sub/cpuset.cpus
    	1
    
    If on legacy hierarchy:
    
    	# echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online
    	# mkdir /cpuset/sub
    	# echo 1 > /cpuset/sub/cpuset.cpus
    	-bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument
    
    Note the checks don't need to be gated by cgroup_on_dfl, because we've
    initialized top_cpuset.{cpus,mems}_allowed accordingly in cpuset_bind().
