Subject: cpuset: allow a larger buffer for writes to cpuset files
From: "Paul Menage" <menage@xxxxxxxxxx>
When using fake NUMA setup, the number of memory nodes can greatly exceed
the number of CPUs. So the current limit in cpuset_common_file_write() is
insufficient. PAGE_SIZE is still a bit of an arbitrary limit, but gives
more breathing room.
