4.4-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

From: Zefan Li <redacted>

commit 06f4e94898918bcad00cdd4d349313a439d6911e upstream.

A new task inherits cpus_allowed and mems_allowed masks from its parent,
but if someone changes cpuset's config by writing to cpuset.cpus/cpuset.mems
before this new task is inserted into the cgroup's task list, the new task
won't be updated accordingly.

This causes a build warning:

  kernel/cpuset.c:2101:2: warning: (near initialization for 'cpuset_cgrp_subsys.fork') [enabled by default]
  .fork  = cpuset_fork,
  ^

where fork op in 4.4 kernel has still priv argument that was dropped
recently.
