Frederic Weisbecker d84b31313e sched/isolation: Offload residual 1Hz scheduler tick
When a CPU runs in full dynticks mode, a 1Hz tick remains in order to
keep the scheduler stats alive. However this residual tick is a burden
for bare metal tasks that can't stand any interruption at all, or want
to minimize them.

The usual boot parameters "nohz_full=" or "isolcpus=nohz" will now
outsource these scheduler ticks to the global workqueue so that a
housekeeping CPU handles those remotely. The sched_class::task_tick()
implementations have been audited and look safe to be called remotely
as the target runqueue and its current task are passed in parameter
and don't seem to be accessed locally.

Note that in the case of using isolcpus, it's still up to the user to
affine the global workqueues to the housekeeping CPUs through
/sys/devices/virtual/workqueue/cpumask or domains isolation
"isolcpus=nohz,domain".
