I'm not quite sure. That code has been there before I got involved in cpuset.

But I tend to agree with you. But if we want to do this, we should split this
change from the cleanup.
Regarding to the cleanup, I found there used to be a single cpuset_node_allowed(),
and your cleanup is exactly a revert of that ancient commit:
commit 02a0e53d8227aff5e62e0433f82c12c1c2805fd6

[PATCH] cpuset: rework cpuset_zone_allowed api
Seems the major intention was to avoid accident sleep-in-atomic bugs, because
callback_mutex might be held.
I don't see there's any reason callback_mutex can't be a spinlock. I thought
about this when Gu Zhen fixed the bug that callback_mutex is nested inside
rcu_read_lock().
