    cpuset: use effective cpumask to build sched domains · 8b5f1c52

    We're going to have separate user-configured masks and effective ones.
    
    Eventually configured masks can only be changed by writing cpuset.cpus
    and cpuset.mems, and they won't be restricted by parent cpuset. While
    effective masks reflect cpu/memory hotplug and hierachical restriction,
    and these are the real masks that apply to the tasks in the cpuset.
    
    We calculate effective mask this way:
      - top cpuset's effective_mask == online_mask, otherwise
      - cpuset's effective_mask == configured_mask & parent effective_mask,
        if the result is empty, it inherits parent effective mask.
    
    Those behavior changes are for default hierarchy only. For legacy
    hierarchy, effective_mask and configured_mask are the same, so we won't
    break old interfaces.
    
    We should partition sched domains according to effective_cpus, which
    is the real cpulist that takes effects on tasks in the cpuset.
    
    This won't introduce behavior change.

    - Add a comment for the call of rebuild_sched_domains(), suggested
    by Tejun.
