It's not necessary to copy cpuset->mems_allowed to a buffer allocated by NODEMASK_ALLOC(). Just pass it to nodelist_scnprintf(). As spotted by Paul, a side effect is we fix a bug that the function can return -ENOMEM but the caller doesn't expect negative return value. Therefore change the return value of cpuset_sprintf_cpulist() and cpuset_sprintf_memlist() from int to size_t.
