cpuset: Fix potential deadlock w/ set_mems_allowed
After adding lockdep support to seqlock/seqcount structures,
I started seeing the following warning:

[ 1.077572] and this task is already holding:

[ 1.080042] *** DEADLOCK ***
The issue stems from the kthreadd() function calling set_mems_allowed
with irqs enabled. While its possibly unlikely for the actual deadlock
to trigger, a fix is fairly simple: disable irqs before taking the
mems_allowed_seq lock.
