cgroup/cpuset: Fix task checking when enabling a partition

Creating a child partition can fail when tasks are present in its
descendants, even though the parent has no tasks of its own.

On a cgroup v2 system with CPUs 0-7 online:

    cd /sys/fs/cgroup
    echo +cpuset > cgroup.subtree_control
    mkdir A
    echo 1-2 > A/cpuset.cpus
    echo root > A/cpuset.cpus.partition
    echo +cpuset > A/cgroup.subtree_control
    mkdir A/B
    echo 1-2 > A/B/cpuset.cpus
    echo +cpuset > A/B/cgroup.subtree_control
    mkdir A/B/C
    echo 1-2 > A/B/C/cpuset.cpus
    echo $$ > A/B/C/cgroup.procs
    echo root > A/B/cpuset.cpus.partition
    cat A/B/cpuset.cpus.partition
    root invalid (Parent unable to distribute cpu downstream)
    cat A/cpuset.cpus.effective
    1-2

B should be a valid root, leaving A with an empty effective CPU list.
The task in C belongs to B's partition and does not need CPUs in A.

partition_is_populated() is called with B as excluded_child, but
continue only skips B in the pre-order walk. The walk still visits C
and finds the task there, so A is considered populated.

Fix this by skipping the whole excluded subtree with
css_rightmost_descendant(), as is already done for valid child
partitions. Also add a test case to test_cpuset_prs.sh with a task in
a grandchild cpuset.
