Juri Lelli 710da3c8ea sched/core: Prevent race condition between cpuset and __sched_setscheduler()
No synchronisation mechanism exists between the cpuset subsystem and
calls to function __sched_setscheduler(). As such, it is possible that
new root domains are created on the cpuset side while a deadline
acceptance test is carried out in __sched_setscheduler(), leading to a
potential oversell of CPU bandwidth.

Grab cpuset_rwsem read lock from core scheduler, so to prevent
situations such as the one described above from happening.

The only exception is normalize_rt_tasks() which needs to work under
tasklist_lock and can't therefore grab cpuset_rwsem. We are fine with
this, as this function is only called by sysrq and, if that gets
triggered, DEADLINE guarantees are already gone out of the window
anyway.
