Subject: [PATCH 20/27] sched/isolation: Remove HK_TYPE_TICK test from cpu_is_isolated()

It doesn't make sense to use nohz_full without also isolating the
related CPUs from the domain topology, either through the use of
isolcpus= or cpuset isolated partitions.

And now HK_TYPE_DOMAIN includes all kinds of domain isolated CPUs.

This means that HK_TYPE_KERNEL_NOISE (of which HK_TYPE_TICK is only an
alias) implies HK_TYPE_DOMAIN and therefore checking the latter is
enough to deduce the former.
