Subject: [PATCH next] cgroup/cpuset: Cleanup signedness issue in cpu_exclusive_check()
Date:   Tue, 26 Sep 2023 23:58:01 -0700

Smatch complains about returning negative error codes from a type
bool function.

kernel/cgroup/cpuset.c:705 cpu_exclusive_check() warn:
	signedness bug returning '(-22)'

The code works correctly, but it is confusing.  The current behavior is
that cpu_exclusive_check() returns true if it's *NOT* exclusive.  Rename
it to cpusets_are_exclusive() and reverse the returns so it returns true
if it is exclusive and false if it's not.  Update both callers as well.
