Subject: [PATCH 2/2] sched/isolation: Add cpu_is_isolated() API

Provide this new API to check if a CPU has been isolated either through
isolcpus= or nohz_full= kernel parameter.

It aims at avoiding kernel load deemed to be safely spared on CPUs
running sensitive workload that can't bear any disturbance, such as
pcp cache draining.
