Wouldn't it be better to move this logic to restrict_cpus_allowed_ptr()?
I think it should always take cpusets into account and it's not special to
this particular handling here, no?

We have 2 cases where the affinity could have been overridden but we won't
print anything:

	1. restrict_cpus_allowed_ptr()
	2. intersection of cpuset_mask and possible mask drops some cpus.

Shouldn't we print something in these cases too?

IMO it would be better to move this print to restrict_cpus_allowed_ptr() too.

Thanks
