[PATCH] cpuset: skip rcu check if task is in root cpuset
For systems that aren't using cpusets, but have them CONFIG_CPUSET enabled in their kernel (eventually this may be most distribution kernels), this patch removes even the minimal rcu_read_lock() from the memory page allocation path. Actually, it removes that rcu call for any task that is in the root cpuset (top_cpuset), which on systems not actively using cpusets, is all tasks. We don't need the rcu check for tasks in the top_cpuset, because the top_cpuset is statically allocated, so at no risk of being freed out from underneath us.
