sched: Fix a race between __kthread_bind() and sched_setaffinity()
Because sched_setscheduler() checks p->flags & PF_NO_SETAFFINITY
without locks, a caller might observe an old value and race with the
set_cpus_allowed_ptr() call from __kthread_bind() and effectively undo
it:
__kthread_bind()
do_set_cpus_allowed()
<SYSCALL>
sched_setaffinity()
if (p->flags & PF_NO_SETAFFINITIY)
set_cpus_allowed_ptr()
p->flags |= PF_NO_SETAFFINITY
Fix the bug by putting everything under the regular scheduler locks.
This also closes a hole in the serialization of task_struct::{nr_,}cpus_allowed.
