[PATCH] cgroup/cpuset: Change nr_deadline_tasks to an atomic_t value

[Waiman Long <longman@xxxxxxxxxx>]

The nr_deadline_tasks field in cpuset structure was introduced by
commit 6c24849f5515 ("sched/cpuset: Keep track of SCHED_DEADLINE task
in cpusets"). Unlike nr_migrate_dl_tasks which is only modified under
cpuset_mutex, nr_deadline_tasks can be updated in various contexts
under different locks. As a result, data races may happen that cause
incorrect value to be stored in nr_deadline_tasks leading to incorrect
exit from dl_update_tasks_root_domain().  Fix that data race problem
by making nr_deadline_tasks an atomic_t value.

Fixes: 6c24849f5515 ("sched/cpuset: Keep track of SCHED_DEADLINE task in cpusets")
