Subject: [PATCH 12/33] sched/isolation: Convert housekeeping cpumasks to rcu pointers

HK_TYPE_DOMAIN's cpumask will soon be made modifyable by cpuset.
A synchronization mechanism is then needed to synchronize the updates
with the housekeeping cpumask readers.

Turn the housekeeping cpumasks into RCU pointers. Once a housekeeping
cpumask will be modified, the update side will wait for an RCU grace
period and propagate the change to interested subsystem when deemed
necessary.
