Subject: [RFC PATCH v3 1/3] sched/isolation: Add infrastructure for dynamic CPU isolation

Introduce the infrastructure function housekeeping_update()
to modify housekeeping_cpumask at runtime and update the
configurations of dependent subsystems accordingly in
following patches.

Parent patch:
sched/isolation: Exclude dynamically isolated CPUs from housekeeping masks
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20240821142312.236970-1-longman@redhat.com/

Signed-off-by: Costa Shulyupin <costa.shul@...hat.com>

Note: In theory, updating housekeeping.flags only once is possible.
However, this approach would make this and following code less clear
and harder to follow and review.

Changes in v3:
- Remove redundant WRITE_ONCE. The first WRITE_ONCE is located
in housekeeping_update() because this function will
update dependent subsystems with changes of the housekeeping masks.

Changes in v2:
- remove unnecessary `err` variable
- add for_each_clear_bit... to clear isolated CPUs
- Address Gleixner's comments:
- use WRITE_ONCE to change housekeeping.flags
- use `struct cpumask *update` in signature of housekeeping_update

v1:
- https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20240516190437.3545310-2-costa.shul@redhat.com/
