[PATCH V2 1/4] cpuset: fix the problem that cpuset_mem_spread_node() returns an offline node

[Miao Xie]

Changes from V1 to V2:
- cleanup two unnecessary smp_wmb() at cpuset_migrate_mm()

cpuset_mem_spread_node() returns an offline node, and causes an oops.

This patch fixes it by initializing task->mems_allowed to
node_states[N_HIGH_MEMORY], and updating task->mems_allowed when doing
memory hotplug.

This patch is already in -mm without this update, so it's probably better 
to make this an incremental series basedo n mmotm-2010-03-04-18-05 or 
later.

This looks wrong, why isn't top_cpuset.mems_allowed updated for 
MEM_OFFLINE?  If you're going to update it when a new node comes online 
for (struct memory_notify *)arg->status_change_nid is >= 0, then it should 
be removed from the nodemask when offlined as well.  You'd be calling 
scan_for_empty_cpusets() needlessly in this code since it'll never change 
under your hotplug code.

ok, I'll do it.

scan_for_empty_cpusets() will update top_cpuset.mems_allowed when doing MEM_OFFLINE.

The comment of this source is necessary. I'll add it.

Thanks!
