[PATCH] cpuset: hotunplug cpus and mems in all cpusets

The cpuset code handling hot unplug of CPUs or Memory Nodes was incorrect -
it could remove a CPU or Node from the top cpuset, while leaving it still
in some child cpusets.

One basic rule of cpusets is that each cpusets cpus and mems are subsets of
its parents.  The cpuset hot unplug code violated this rule.

So the cpuset hotunplug handler must walk down the tree, removing any
removed CPU or Node from all cpusets.

However, it is not allowed to make a cpusets cpus or mems become empty.
They can only transition from empty to non-empty, not back.

So if the last CPU or Node would be removed from a cpuset by the above
walk, we scan back up the cpuset hierarchy, finding the nearest ancestor
that still has something online, and copy its CPU or Memory placement.
