This is a preparation for the following patch to make review simpler. While

Dunno how frequent cpuset is changed in real life.

I don't think the extra kswapd wakeups due to retry_cpuset would be noticeable. Such frequent cpuset changes would likely have their own associated overhead larger than the wakeups.
