[PATCH 2/2] nohz: make nohz_full imply isolcpus

[cmetcalf]

From: Chris Metcalf <cmetcalf@xxxxxxxxxx>

It's not clear that nohz_full is useful without isolcpus also
set, since otherwise the scheduler has to run periodically to
try to determine whether to steal work from other cores.

I am puzzled why this has not been done before, so I suspect
there is some argument against it that I am missing, but I
wasn't able to turn anything up by searching LKML.
