John Stultz db751fe3ea cpuset: Fix potential deadlock w/ set_mems_allowed
After adding lockdep support to seqlock/seqcount structures,
I started seeing the following warning:

[    1.080042]
[    1.080042]  *** DEADLOCK ***

The issue stems from the kthreadd() function calling set_mems_allowed
with irqs enabled. While its possibly unlikely for the actual deadlock
to trigger, a fix is fairly simple: disable irqs before taking the
mems_allowed_seq lock.
