Test description:

Juno-r0 (Arm64 big/Little [L b b L L L]) with 6 DL tasks
(12000/100000/100000).

Rt-app runs DL workload for 10min.

After rt-app launched, start CPU hotplug stress test (random CPU hp
in/out except for CPU1 (CPU orig capacity 1024 (big)) during the entire
rt-app run.

Tests ran with 1 and 2 (exclusive cpusets ([0,3-5], [1-2])) root domains.
