Subject: [PATCH 7/8] sched/isolation: Fix housekeeping_mask memory leak

If "nohz_full=" or "isolcpus=nohz" are called with CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL=n,
housekeeping_mask doesn't get freed despite it being unused if
housekeeping_setup() is called for the first time.

Check this scenario first to fix this, so that no useless allocation
is performed.
