Re: [PATCH v8 08/19] sched: Reject CPU affinity changes based on task_cpu_possible_mask()

Reject explicit requests to change the affinity mask of a task via
set_cpus_allowed_ptr() if the requested mask is not a subset of the
mask returned by task_cpu_possible_mask(). This ensures that the
'cpus_mask' for a given task cannot contain CPUs which are incapable of
executing it, except in cases where the affinity is forced.

IIUC this wouldn't be required if guarantee_online_cpus() couldn't build a
mask that extends beyond task_cpu_possible_mask(p): if the new mask doesn't
intersect with that possible mask, it means we're carrying an empty cpumask
and the cpumask_any_and_distribute() below would return nr_cpu_ids, so we'd
bail with -EINVAL.

I don't really see a way around it though due to the expectations behind
guarantee_online_cpus() :/
