cgroup/cpuset: Convert cpuset_mutex to percpu_rwsem

Browse source 
Holding cpuset_mutex means that cpusets are stable (only the holder can
make changes) and this is required for fixing a synchronization issue
between cpusets and scheduler core.  However, grabbing cpuset_mutex from
setscheduler() hotpath (as implemented in a later patch) is a no-go, as
it would create a bottleneck for tasks concurrently calling
setscheduler().

Convert cpuset_mutex to be a percpu_rwsem (cpuset_rwsem), so that
setscheduler() will then be able to read lock it and avoid concurrency
issues.
