Apply the cpumask and cgroup of the initializing task to the created
vhost poller.

Based on Sridhar Samudrala's patch.

I wanted to apply this, but modpost fails:
ERROR: "sched_setaffinity" [drivers/vhost/vhost_net.ko] undefined!
ERROR: "sched_getaffinity" [drivers/vhost/vhost_net.ko] undefined!

Did you try building as a module?
In my original implementation, i had these calls in workqueue.c.
Now that these are moved to vhost.c which can be built as a module,
these symbols need to be exported.
The following patch fixes the build issue with vhost as a module.

Works for me. To simplify dependencies, I'd like to queue this
together with the chost patches through net-next.
Ack to this?
