[PATCH v3 16/16] qemu: leave restricting cpuset.mems after initialization

[Martin Kletzander <mkletzan@xxxxxxxxxx>]

When domain is started with numatune memory mode strict and the
nodeset does not include host NUMA node with DMA and DMA32 zones, KVM
initialization fails.  This is because cgroup restrict even kernel
allocations.  We are already doing numa_set_membind() which does the
same thing, only it does not restrict kernel allocations.

This patch leaves the userspace numa_set_membind() in place and moves
the cpuset.mems setting after the point where monitor comes up, but
before vcpu and emulator sub-groups are created.

Notes:
    Another approach would be not using cgroups for this at all; it should
    still work as expected.
