HK_TYPE_DOMAIN's cpumask will soon be made modifiable by cpuset.
A synchronization mechanism is then needed to synchronize the updates
with the housekeeping cpumask readers.

Turn the housekeeping cpumasks into RCU pointers. Once a housekeeping
cpumask will be modified, the update side will wait for an RCU grace
period and propagate the change to interested subsystem when deemed
necessary.

Hi Frederic,

I think this patch should also update the access to housekeeping.cpumasks
in housekeeping_setup(), on line 200, to use housekeeping_cpumask().

As is, sparse flags __rcu a annotation miss match there.

  kernel/sched/isolation.c:200:80: warning: incorrect type in argument 3 (different address spaces)
  kernel/sched/isolation.c:200:80:    expected struct cpumask const *srcp3
  kernel/sched/isolation.c:200:80:    got struct cpumask [noderef] __rcu *
