[RFC PATCH] cgroup/cpuset: fix a memory binding failure for cgroup v2

[Feng Tang <feng.tang@intel.com>]

We got report that setting cpuset.mems failed when the nodemask
contains a newly onlined memory node (not enumerated during boot)
for cgroup v2, while the binding succeeded for cgroup v1.

The root cause is, for cgroup v2, when a new memory node is onlined,
top_cpuset's 'mem_allowed' is not updated with the new nodemask of
memory nodes, and the following setting memory nodemask will fail,
if the nodemask contains a new node.

Fix it by updating top_cpuset.mems_allowed right after the
new memory node is onlined, just like v1.

Very likely I missed some details here, but it looks strange that
the top_cpuset.mem_allowed is not updatd even after we onlined
several memory nodes after boot.
