Whitespace.

This patch looks fine, and I think cpuset.effective_cpus and
cpuset.isolcpus can be used well together, but will need updating now that
commit e8e6d97c9b ("cpuset: use %*pb[l] to print bitmaps including
cpumasks and nodemasks") has been merged which reworks this function.

It's a little unfortunate, though, that the user sees Cpus_allowed,
cpuset.cpus, and cpuset.effective_cpus that include isolcpus and then have
to check another cpulist for the isolcpus to see their sched domain,
though.
