[PATCH 22/31] kthread: Include unbound kthreads in the managed affinity list

[Frederic Weisbecker]

The managed affinity list currently contains only unbound kthreads that
have affinity preferences. Unbound kthreads globally affine by default
are outside of the list because their affinity is automatically managed
by the scheduler (through the fallback housekeeping mask) and by cpuset.

However in order to preserve the preferred affinity of kthreads, cpuset
will delegate the isolated partition update propagation to the
housekeeping and kthread code.

Prepare for that with including all unbound kthreads in the managed
affinity list.
