[PATCH v3 2/2] tick/nohz: avoid showing '(null)' if nohz_full= not set

[Aaron Tomlin <atomlin@atomlin.com>]

In the context of CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL=y, tick_nohz_full_mask (of type
cpumask_var_t) is initialised to 0. Memory is only allocated to the cpumask
data structure, in tick_nohz_full_setup(), when Linux kernel boot-time
parameter "nohz_full=" is correctly specified (see housekeeping_setup()).
If "nohz_full=" is not set and an attempt is made to read
/sys/devices/system/cpu/nohz_full, '(null)' can be displayed:

    ❯ cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/nohz_full
    (null)

This patch changes the output to print a newline (or 0x0A) instead of
'(null)', making it consistent with print_cpus_isolated() behaviour.
