Subject: [PATCH] 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 (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.
