I considered only the "base" set change cs->effective_cpus ->
possible_mask. (Apologies for that mistake.)

However, I now read the note about subparts_cpus

So if subpart_cpus keeps offlined CPUs, they will be subtracted from
possible_mask and absent in the resulting new_cpus, i.e. undesirable for
the tasks in that cpuset :-/
