[PATCH v14 5/7] sched/isolation: Force housekeeping if isolcpus and nohz_full don't leave any

[Gabriele Monaco <gmonaco@redhat.com>]

Currently the user can set up isolcpus and nohz_full in such a way that
leaves no housekeeping CPU (i.e. no CPU that is neither domain isolated
nor nohz full). This can be a problem for other subsystems (e.g. the
timer wheel imgration).

Prevent this configuration by invalidating the last setting in case the
union of isolcpus (domain) and nohz_full covers all CPUs.
