cgroup/cpuset: Defer housekeeping_update() calls from CPU hotplug to workqueue

The cpuset_handle_hotplug() may need to invoke housekeeping_update(),
for instance, when an isolated partition is invalidated because its
last active CPU has been put offline.

As we are going to enable dynamic update to the nozh_full housekeeping
cpumask (HK_TYPE_KERNEL_NOISE) soon with the help of CPU hotplug,
allowing the CPU hotplug path to call into housekeeping_update() directly
from update_isolation_cpumasks() will likely cause deadlock. So we
have to defer any call to housekeeping_update() after the CPU hotplug
operation has finished. This is now done via the workqueue where
the update_hk_sched_domains() function will be invoked via the
hk_sd_workfn().

An concurrent cpuset control file write may have executed the required
update_hk_sched_domains() function before the work function is called. So
the work function call may become a no-op when it is invoked.
