    Would it not make sense to mark housekeeping_cpumask() __pure instead?
    
After marking housekeeping_cpumask() __pure and then test again, the results 
proves that huge time burn in the loop for searching the nearest busy housekeeper 
still exists. 

Using objdump -D vmlinux we can see get_nohz_timer_target() disassembled code

The disassembled code proves that the __pure mark does not work.
