cpuset: avoid changing cpuset's cpus when -errno returned
After the patch: commit 0b2f630a28d53b5a2082a5275bc3334b10373508 Author: Miao Xie <miaox@cn.fujitsu.com> Date: Fri Jul 25 01:47:21 2008 -0700 cpusets: restructure the function update_cpumask() and update_nodemask() It might happen that 'echo 0 > /cpuset/sub/cpus' returned failure but 'cpus' has been changed, because cpus was changed before calling heap_init() which may return -ENOMEM. This patch restores the orginal behavior.
