Would it make sense to just test whether set_cpus_allowed_ptr() succeeded
afterwards?

Failing operations on transient conditions like this may be confusing. Let's
ignore cpuset for now. CPU hotplug is sometimes driven automatically for
power saving purposes, so failing operation based on whether a cpu is online
means that the success or failure of the operation can seem arbitrary. If
the operation takes place while the cpu happens to be online, it succeeds
and the thread gets unbound and rebound automatically as the cpu goes
offline and online. If the operation takes place while the cpu happens to be
offline, the operation fails.

I don't know what the intended behavior here should be and we haven't been
pretty bad at defining reasonable behavior around cpu hotplug, so it'd
probably be worthwhile to consider what the behavior should be.

Thanks.
