Subject: [PATCH -v2 net-next] net/core/dev.c: enable timestamp static key if
 CPU isolation is configured


For systems that use CPU isolation (via nohz_full), creating or destroying
a socket with timestamping (SOCK_TIMESTAMPING_RX_SOFTWARE and 
SOF_TIMESTAMPING_OPT_TX_SWHW) might cause a
static key to be enabled/disabled. This in turn causes undesired
IPIs to isolated CPUs.

So enable the static key unconditionally, if CPU isolation is enabled,
thus avoiding the IPIs.

v2: mention SOF_TIMESTAMPING_OPT_TX_SWHW in the commit log (Willem de Bruijn / Paolo Abeni)
