Subject: [PATCH net-next -v6] net: enable timestamp static key if CPU
 isolation is configured


For systems that use CPU isolation (via nohz_full), creating or destroying
a socket with SO_TIMESTAMP, SO_TIMESTAMPNS or SO_TIMESTAMPING with flag
SOF_TIMESTAMPING_RX_SOFTWARE will 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)
v3: SOF_TIMESTAMPING_OPT_TX_SWHW is irrelevant (Willem de Bruijn)
v4: additional changelog improvements (Willem de Bruijn)
v5: late initcall not necessary, can use subsys initcall (Willem de Bruijn)
v6: rebase against net-next, change subject (Jakub Kicinski)
