The following patch implements set_cpus_allowed() for stock 2.4 without
the O(1) scheduler.

The calling semantics and behavior remain the same as 2.5's method.

This is to provide a backward-compatible interface, specifically for
those interested in back-porting the new workqueue code to 2.4 -
set_cpus_allowed() seems to be the only nit preventing a straight
drop-in.

Patch is against 2.4.20-pre8 and untested but does compile.

	Robert Love
