[PATCH v7 2/6] cgroup/cpuset: Show invalid partition reason string

[Waiman Long]

There are a number of different reasons which can cause a partition to
become invalid. A user seeing an invalid partition may not know exactly
why. To help user to get a better understanding of the underlying reason,
The cpuset.cpus.partition control file, when read, will now report the
reason why a partition become invalid. When a partition does become
invalid, reading the control file will show "root invalid (<reason>)"
where <reason> is a string that describes why the partition is invalid.
