Adds a new 'memory_spread_user' option to cpusets.
When a task with an MPOL_INTERLEAVE memory policy is attached to a cpuset
with this option set, the interleaved nodemask becomes the cpuset's
mems_allowed. When the cpuset's mems_allowed changes, the interleaved
nodemask for all tasks with MPOL_INTERLEAVE memory policies is also
updated to be the new mems_allowed nodemask.
This allows applications to specify that they want to interleave over all
nodes that they are allowed to access. This set of nodes can be changed
at any time via the cpuset interface and each individual memory policy is
updated to reflect the changes for all attached tasks when this option is
set.

The cpuset_mem_spread_node() routine is also simple. It uses the
