cgroup/cpuset: Avoid unnecessary cpus & mems update in cpuset_hotplug_update_tasks()

Browse source

As reported by sashiko [1], cpuset_hotplug_update_tasks() may perform
unnecessary task iteration and updating of tasks' CPU and node masks
when mems_allowed and/or cpus_allowed are not set in cpuset v2. It is
due to the fact that the temporary new_cpus and new_mems masks do not
inherit parent's effective_cpus/mems when they are empty which is the
expected behavior for cpuset v2 since commit 4ec22e9c5a ("cpuset:
Enable cpuset controller in default hierarchy").

Fix that and avoid unnecessary work by enhancing
compute_effective_cpumask() to add the empty cpumask check
and inheriting the parent's versions if empty when in v2. A new
compute_effective_nodemask() helper is also added to perform a similar
function for new effective_mems.

Add new test_cpuset_prs.sh test cases to confirm that effective_cpus
will inherit the parent's version if cpuset.cpus is empty.
