cpusets: prevent PF_THREAD_BOUND tasks from attaching to non-root cpusets
Kthreads that have the PF_THREAD_BOUND bit set in their flags are bound to a specific cpu. Thus, their set of allowed cpus shall not change. This patch prevents such threads from attaching to non-root cpusets. They do not have mempolicies that restrict them to a subset of system nodes and, since their cpumask may never change, they cannot use any of the features of cpusets. The tasks will forever be a member of the root cpuset and will be returned when listing the tasks attached to that cpuset.
