Since commit d74b27d63a8b ("cgroup/cpuset: Change cpuset_rwsem
and hotplug lock order"), the ordering of cpu hotplug lock
and cpuset_mutex had been reversed. That patch correctly
used the cpuslocked version of the static branch API to enable
cpusets_pre_enable_key and cpusets_enabled_key, but it didn't do the
same for cpusets_insane_config_key.

The cpusets_insane_config_key can be enabled in the
check_insane_mems_config() which is called from update_nodemask()
or cpuset_hotplug_update_tasks() with both cpu hotplug lock and
cpuset_mutex held. Deadlock can happen with a pending hotplug event that
tries to acquire the cpu hotplug write lock which will block further
cpus_read_lock() attempt from check_insane_mems_config(). Fix that by
switching to use static_branch_enable_cpuslocked().
