housekeeping_cpu() is inline and does the static branch test, which is
most of the time off. If it's on, then we enter the slow path and call
the real function housekeeping_test_cpu().

So the point is to optimize the fast path, which 99.999% of the uses
since nohz_full is a rare workload.

But housekeeping_test_cpu() is still built on most distros just in case
a distro user ever needs nohz_full.

Thanks.
