Paul Jackson 55a230aae6 cpuset: zero malloc - revert the old cpuset fix 
The cpuset code to present a list of tasks using a cpuset to user space could
write to an array that it had kmalloc'd, after a kmalloc request of zero size.

The problem was that the code didn't check for writes past the allocated end
of the array until -after- the first write.

This is a race condition that is likely rare -- it would only show up if a
cpuset went from being empty to having a task in it, during the brief time
between the allocation and the first write.

Prior to roughly 2.6.22 kernels, this was also a benign problem, because a
zero kmalloc returned a few usable bytes anyway, and no harm was done with the
bogus write.

With the 2.6.22 kernel changes to make issue a warning if code tries to write
to the location returned from a zero size allocation, this problem is no
longer benign.  This cpuset code would occassionally trigger that warning.

The fix is trivial -- check before storing into the array, not after, whether
the array is big enough to hold the store.
