cpuset: avoid changing cpuset's cpus when -errno returned
After the patch:
commit 0b2f630a28d53b5a2082a5275bc3334b10373508

cpusets: restructure the function update_cpumask() and update_nodemask()
It might happen that 'echo 0 > /cpuset/sub/cpus' returned failure but 'cpus'
has been changed, because cpus was changed before calling heap_init() which
may return -ENOMEM.
This patch restores the orginal behavior.
