[PATCH v2] tick/nohz_full: turn tick_do_timer_boot_cpu into boot_cpu_is_nohz_full

[Oleg Nesterov]

We don't need to record the cpu number of the nohz_full boot CPU, a simple
boolean is enough. We could even kill it, the "else if" branch could check
tick_nohz_full_cpu(tick_do_timer_cpu) && !tick_nohz_full_cpu(cpu).
