A little like so. Completely untested.

Subject: sched: Refuse to unplug a CPU if this will violate user task affinity

Its bad policy to allow unplugging a CPU for which a user set explicit
affinity, either strictly on this CPU or in case this was the last
online CPU in its mask.

Either would end up forcing the thread on a random other CPU, violating
the sys_sched_setaffinity() constraint.

Disallow this by default; root might not be aware of all user
affinities, but can negotiate and change affinities for all tasks.

Provide a sysctl to go back to the old behaviour.
