[PATCH 0/2] sched/nohz: disallow non-existent cores from nohz-full

[Paul Gortmaker <paul.gortmaker@windriver.com>]

A couple months back I sent a fix to reconcile rcu_nocbs= input
restrictions with nohz_full= input restrictions; with the latter being
more restrictive than the former.

However, in relaxing the nohz_full restrictions, I made it possible to
boot with a nohz_full= parameter that contains nothing but nonexistent
and not-possible cores - which will trigger a WARN.

This fixes the original reconcile commit by explicitly coding our
allowed values just like RCU does, and changes the WARN_ON to a
WARN_ON_ONCE, since it needlessly rendered the machine unusable.

  sched/isolation: really align nohz_full with rcu_nocbs
  tick/nohz: WARN_ON --> WARN_ON_ONCE to prevent console saturation
