[PATCH] sys_sched_getaffinity() & hotplug
Change sched_getaffinity() so that it returns a bitmap that indicates the
legally schedulable cpus that a task is allowed to run on.
Without this patch, if CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU is enabled, sched_getaffinity()
unconditionally returns (at least on IA64) a mask with NR_CPUS bits set.
This conveys no useful infornmation except for a kernel compile option.
This fixes a breakage we obseved running recent kernels. We have MPI jobs
that use sched_getaffinity() to determine where to place their threads.
Placing them on non-existant cpus is problematic :-)
