Fix race between attach_task and cpuset_exit
Currently cpuset_exit() changes the exiting task's ->cpuset pointer w/o
taking task_lock(). This can lead to ugly races between attach_task and
cpuset_exit. Details of the races are described at
http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/3/24/132.
Patch below closes those races.
