sched/core: Distribute tasks within affinity masks

Currently, when updating the affinity of tasks via either cpusets.cpus,
or, sched_setaffinity(); tasks not currently running within the newly
specified mask will be arbitrarily assigned to the first CPU within the
mask.

This (particularly in the case that we are restricting masks) can
result in many tasks being assigned to the first CPUs of their new
masks.

This:
 1) Can induce scheduling delays while the load-balancer has a chance to
    spread them between their new CPUs.
 2) Can antogonize a poor load-balancer behavior where it has a
    difficult time recognizing that a cross-socket imbalance has been
    forced by an affinity mask.

This change adds a new cpumask interface to allow iterated calls to
distribute within the intersection of the provided masks.

The cases that this mainly affects are:
 - modifying cpuset.cpus
 - when tasks join a cpuset
 - when modifying a task's affinity via sched_setaffinity(2)
