cpusets: restructure the function cpuset_update_task_memory_state()
The kernel still allocates the page caches on old node after modifying its
cpuset's mems when 'memory_spread_page' was set, or it didn't spread the
page cache evenly over all the nodes that faulting task is allowed to usr
after memory_spread_page was set. it is caused by the old mem_allowed and
flags of the task, the current kernel doesn't updates them unless some
function invokes cpuset_update_task_memory_state(), it is too late
sometimes.We must update the mem_allowed and the flags of the tasks in
time.
Slab has the same problem.
The following patches fix this bug by updating tasks' mem_allowed and
spread flag after its cpuset's mems or spread flag is changed.
This patch:
Extract a function from cpuset_update_task_memory_state(). It will be
used later for update tasks' page/slab spread flags after its cpuset's
flag is set
