[PATCH 04/33] mm: vmstat: Prepare to protect against concurrent isolated cpuset change

[Frederic Weisbecker]

The HK_TYPE_DOMAIN housekeeping cpumask will soon be made modifyable at
runtime. In order to synchronize against vmstat workqueue to make sure
that no asynchronous vmstat work is pending or executing on a newly made
isolated CPU, target and queue a vmstat work under the same RCU read
side critical section.

Whenever housekeeping will update the HK_TYPE_DOMAIN cpumask, a vmstat
workqueue flush will also be issued in a further change to make sure
that no work remains pending after a CPU has been made isolated.
