hotplug cpu: move tasks in empty cpusets to parent various other fixes 

Various minor formatting and comment tweaks to Cliff Wickman's
[PATCH_3_of_3]_cpusets__update_cpumask_revision.patch

I had had "iff", meaning "if and only if" in a comment.  However, except for
ancient mathematicians, the abbreviation "iff" was a tad too cryptic.  Cliff
changed it to "if", presumably figuring that the "iff" was a typo.  However,
it was the "only if" half of the conjunction that was most interesting.
Reword to emphasis the "only if" aspect.

The locking comment for remove_tasks_in_empty_cpuset() was wrong; it said
callback_mutex had to be held on entry.  The opposite is true.

Several mentions of attach_task() in comments needed to be
changed to cgroup_attach_task().

A comment about notify_on_release was no longer relevant,
as the line of code it had commented, namely:
	set_bit(CS_RELEASED_RESOURCE, &parent->flags);
is no longer present in that place in the cpuset.c code.

Similarly a comment about notify_on_release before the
scan_for_empty_cpusets() routine was no longer relevant.

Removed extra parentheses and unnecessary return statement.

Renamed attach_task() to cpuset_attach() in various comments.

Removed comment about not needing memory migration, as it seems the migration
is done anyway, via the cpuset_attach() callback from cgroup_attach_task().
