[PATCH] doc: Update residual 1Hz handling description

[Marco Crivellari]

When a CPU is nohz there is a residual 1Hz that must be handled.
Accordingly to the documentation, this should be manually affined to
housekeeping.

This is no longer the case: the residual 1Hz is automatically offloaded
to workqueues already affined to housekeeping CPUs.

So change the documentation accordingly.
