sched: Make select_fallback_rq() cpuset friendly
commit 9084bb8246ea935b98320554229e2f371f7f52fa upstream.
Introduce cpuset_cpus_allowed_fallback() helper to fix the cpuset problems
with select_fallback_rq(). It can be called from any context and can't use
any cpuset locks including task_lock(). It is called when the task doesn't
have online cpus in ->cpus_allowed but ttwu/etc must be able to find a
suitable cpu.
I am not proud of this patch. Everything which needs such a fat comment
can't be good even if correct. But I'd prefer to not change the locking
rules in the code I hardly understand, and in any case I believe this
simple change make the code much more correct compared to deadlocks we
currently have.
