Paul E. McKenney eb75767be0 nohz_full: Force RCU's grace-period kthreads onto timekeeping CPU
Because RCU's quiescent-state-forcing mechanism is used to drive the
full-system-idle state machine, and because this mechanism is executed
by RCU's grace-period kthreads, this commit forces these kthreads to
run on the timekeeping CPU (tick_do_timer_cpu).  To do otherwise would
mean that the RCU grace-period kthreads would force the system into
non-idle state every time they drove the state machine, which would
be just a bit on the futile side.
