sched/core: Prevent race condition between cpuset and __sched_setscheduler()
No synchronisation mechanism exists between the cpuset subsystem and calls to function __sched_setscheduler(). As such, it is possible that new root domains are created on the cpuset side while a deadline acceptance test is carried out in __sched_setscheduler(), leading to a potential oversell of CPU bandwidth. Grab cpuset_rwsem read lock from core scheduler, so to prevent situations such as the one described above from happening. The only exception is normalize_rt_tasks() which needs to work under tasklist_lock and can't therefore grab cpuset_rwsem. We are fine with this, as this function is only called by sysrq and, if that gets triggered, DEADLINE guarantees are already gone out of the window anyway.
