Waiman Long e117ff1129 cgroup/cpuset: Prevent NULL pointer access in free_tmpmasks()
Commit 5806b3d051 ("cpuset: decouple tmpmasks and cpumasks freeing in
cgroup") separates out the freeing of tmpmasks into a new free_tmpmask()
helper but removes the NULL pointer check in the process. Unfortunately a
NULL pointer can be passed to free_tmpmasks() in cpuset_handle_hotplug()
if cpuset v1 is active. This can cause segmentation fault and crash
the kernel.

Fix that by adding the NULL pointer check to free_tmpmasks().
