v7:
 - Simplify the documentation patch (patch 5) as suggested by Tejun.
 - Fix a typo in patch 2 and improper commit log in patch 3.

v6:
 - Remove duplicated tmpmask from update_prstate() which should fix the
   frame size too large problem reported by kernel test robot.

v5:
 - Rebased to the latest for-5.15 branch of cgroup git tree and drop the
   1st v4 patch as it has been merged.
 - Update patch 1 to always allow changing partition root back to member
   even if it invalidates child partitions undeneath it.
 - Adjust the empty effective cpu partition patch to not allow 0 effective
   cpu for terminal partition which will make it invalid).
 - Add a new patch to enable reading of cpuset.cpus.partition to display
   the reason that causes invalid partition.
 - Adjust the documentation and testing patch accordingly.

This patchset makes four enhancements to the cpuset v2 code.

 Patch 1: Properly handle partition root tree and make partition
 invalid in case changes to cpuset.cpus violate any of the partition
 root constraints.

 Patch 2: Enable the "cpuset.cpus.partition" file to show the reason
 that causes invalid partition like "root invalid (No cpu available
 due to hotplug)".

 Patch 3: Add a new partition state "isolated" to create a partition
 root without load balancing. This is for handling intermitten workloads
 that have a strict low latency requirement.

 Patch 4: Allow partition roots that are not the top cpuset to distribute
 all its cpus to child partitions as long as there is no task associated
 with that partition root. This allows more flexibility for middleware
 to manage multiple partitions.

Patch 5 updates the cgroup-v2.rst file accordingly. Patch 6 adds a new
cpuset test to test the new cpuset partition code.
