sched/isolation: Make CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL select CONFIG_CPU_ISOLATION
CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL doesn't make sense without CONFIG_CPU_ISOLATION. In fact enabling the first without the second is a regression as nohz_full= boot parameter gets silently ignored. Besides this unnatural combination hangs RCU gp kthread when running rcutorture for reasons that are not yet fully understood: rcu_preempt kthread starved for 9974 jiffies! g4294967208 +c4294967207 f0x0 RCU_GP_WAIT_FQS(3) ->state=0x402 ->cpu=0 rcu_preempt I 7464 8 2 0x80000000 Call Trace: __schedule+0x493/0x620 schedule+0x24/0x40 schedule_timeout+0x330/0x3b0 ? preempt_count_sub+0xea/0x140 ? collect_expired_timers+0xb0/0xb0 rcu_gp_kthread+0x6bf/0xef0 This commit therefore makes NO_HZ_FULL select CPU_ISOLATION, which prevents all these bad behaviours.
