sched: Fix fork vs hotplug vs cpuset namespaces

Browse Source 
There are a number of issues:

1) TASK_WAKING vs cgroup_clone (cpusets)

copy_process():

  sched_fork()
    child->state = TASK_WAKING; /* waiting for wake_up_new_task() */
  if (current->nsproxy != p->nsproxy)
     ns_cgroup_clone()
       cgroup_clone()
         mutex_lock(inode->i_mutex)
         mutex_lock(cgroup_mutex)
         cgroup_attach_task()
	   ss->can_attach()
           ss->attach() [ -> cpuset_attach() ]
             cpuset_attach_task()
               set_cpus_allowed_ptr();
                 while (child->state == TASK_WAKING)
                   cpu_relax();
will deadlock the system.


2) cgroup_clone (cpusets) vs copy_process

So even if the above would work we still have:

copy_process():

  if (current->nsproxy != p->nsproxy)
     ns_cgroup_clone()
       cgroup_clone()
         mutex_lock(inode->i_mutex)
         mutex_lock(cgroup_mutex)
         cgroup_attach_task()
	   ss->can_attach()
           ss->attach() [ -> cpuset_attach() ]
             cpuset_attach_task()
               set_cpus_allowed_ptr();
  ...

  p->cpus_allowed = current->cpus_allowed

over-writing the modified cpus_allowed.


3) fork() vs hotplug

  if we unplug the child's cpu after the sanity check when the child
  gets attached to the task_list but before wake_up_new_task() shit
  will meet with fan.

Solve all these issues by moving fork cpu selection into
wake_up_new_task().
