Fix race between attach_task and cpuset_exit

Currently cpuset_exit() changes the exiting task's ->cpuset pointer w/o
taking task_lock().  This can lead to ugly races between attach_task and
cpuset_exit.  Details of the races are described at
http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/3/24/132

.

Patch below closes those races.
