[PATCH v7 2/5] cpuset: Add cpuset.sched_load_balance to v2

[Waiman Long <longman@redhat.com>]

The sched_load_balance flag is needed to enable CPU isolation similar
to what can be done with the "isolcpus" kernel boot parameter.

The sched_load_balance flag implies an implicit !cpu_exclusive as
it doesn't make sense to have an isolated CPU being load-balanced in
another cpuset.

For v2, this flag is hierarchical and is inherited by child cpusets. It
is not allowed to have this flag turn off in a parent cpuset, but on
in a child cpuset.

This flag is set by the parent and is not delegatable.
