[PATCH 2/2] show nohz_full cpus in sysfs

[riel]

From: Rik van Riel <riel@xxxxxxxxxx>

Currently there is no way to query which CPUs are in nohz_full
mode from userspace.

Export the CPU list running in nohz_full mode in sysfs,
specifically in the file /sys/devices/system/cpu/nohz_full

This can be used by system management tools like libvirt,
openstack, and others to ensure proper task placement.
