cgroup/cpuset: Fix node inconsistencies between cpuset_update_tasks_nodemask() and cpuset_attach()

Whenever memory node mask is changed, there are 4 places where the node
mask has to be updated or used.
 1) task's node mask via cpuset_change_task_nodemask()
 2) memory policy binding via mpol_rebind_mm()
 3) if memory migration is enabled, migrate from old_mems_allowed to
    the new node mask via cpuset_migrate_mm().
 4) setting old_mems_allowed

These memory actions are done in cpuset_update_tasks_nodemask() and
cpuset_attach(). However there are inconsistencies in what node masks
are being used in these 2 functions.

In cpuset_update_tasks_nodemask(),
 - cpuset_change_task_nodemask(): guarantee_online_mems()
 - mpol_rebind_mm(): mems_allowed
 - cpuset_migrate_mm(): guarantee_online_mems()
 - old_mems_allowed: guarantee_online_mems()

In cpuset_attach(),
 - cpuset_change_task_nodemask(): guarantee_online_mems()
 - mpol_rebind_mm(): effective_mems
 - cpuset_migrate_mm(): effective_mems
 - old_mems_allowed: effective_mems

These inconsistencies dates back to quite a long time ago and it is
hard to say what should be the correct values.

The guarantee_online_mems() function returns a node mask from current or
an ancestor cpuset that is a subset of node_states[N_MEMORY]. Nodes in
node_states[N_MEMORY] are all online, i.e. in node_states[N_ONLINE].
However, node in node_states[N_ONLINE] may not have memory. So
node_states[N_MEMORY] should be a subset of node_states[N_ONLINE].

The guarantee_online_mems() function should mostly be useful for v1
where mems_allowed is the same as effective_mems. With v2, the memory
nodes in effective_mems should be a subset of node_states[N_MEMORY]
except when a memory hot-unplug operation is in progress and a memory
node is removed from node_states[N_MEMORY] but not yet reflected in
the effective_mems's as cpuset_handle_hotplug() has not been called
from cpuset_track_online_nodes().

Let use the following setup for both of them and make them consistent.
 - cpuset_change_task_nodemask(): guarantee_online_mems()
 - mpol_rebind_mm(): effective_mems
 - cpuset_migrate_mm(): guarantee_online_mems()
 - old_mems_allowed: guarantee_online_mems()

So for v2, it is effectively all effective_mems most of the time. For
v1, mpol_rebind_mm() uses mems_allowed which may differ from what
guarantee_online_mems() returns, but it conforms to what the cpuset v1
documentation says with respect to setting memory policy.
