Subject: [PATCH 29/33] sched/arm64: Move fallback task cpumask to HK_TYPE_DOMAIN

When none of the allowed CPUs of a task are online, it gets migrated
to the fallback cpumask which is all the non nohz_full CPUs.

However just like nohz_full CPUs, domain isolated CPUs don't want to be
disturbed by tasks that have lost their CPU affinities.

And since nohz_full rely on domain isolation to work correctly, the
housekeeping mask of domain isolated CPUs should always be a subset of
the housekeeping mask of nohz_full CPUs (there can be CPUs that are
domain isolated but not nohz_full, OTOH there shouldn't be nohz_full
CPUs that are not domain isolated):

	HK_TYPE_DOMAIN & HK_TYPE_KERNEL_NOISE == HK_TYPE_DOMAIN

Therefore use HK_TYPE_DOMAIN as the appropriate fallback target for
tasks. Note that cpuset isolated partitions are not supported on those
systems and may result in undefined behaviour.
