Cpuset hardwall flag: add a mem_hardwall flag to cpusets

Browse Source 
This flag provides the hardwalling properties of mem_exclusive, without
enforcing the exclusivity.  Either mem_hardwall or mem_exclusive is sufficient
to prevent GFP_KERNEL allocations from passing outside the cpuset's assigned
nodes.

a direct ancestor or descendent, may share any of the same CPUs or
Memory Nodes.
A cpuset that is mem_exclusive restricts kernel allocations for
page, buffer and other data commonly shared by the kernel across
multiple users. All cpusets, whether mem_exclusive or not, restrict
allocations of memory for user space. This enables configuring a
system so that several independent jobs can share common kernel data,
such as file system pages, while isolating each jobs user allocation in
its own cpuset. To do this, construct a large mem_exclusive cpuset to
hold all the jobs, and construct child, non-mem_exclusive cpusets for
each individual job. Only a small amount of typical kernel memory,
such as requests from interrupt handlers, is allowed to be taken
outside even a mem_exclusive cpuset.
A cpuset that is mem_exclusive *or* mem_hardwall is "hardwalled",
i.e. it restricts kernel allocations for page, buffer and other data
commonly shared by the kernel across multiple users. All cpusets,
whether hardwalled or not, restrict allocations of memory for user
space. This enables configuring a system so that several independent
jobs can share common kernel data, such as file system pages, while
isolating each job's user allocation in its own cpuset. To do this,
construct a large mem_exclusive cpuset to hold all the jobs, and
construct child, non-mem_exclusive cpusets for each individual job.
Only a small amount of typical kernel memory, such as requests from
interrupt handlers, is allowed to be taken outside even a
