Normally the tilegx networking shim sends irqs to all the cores
to distribute the load of processing incoming-packet interrupts,
so that you can get to multiple Gb's of traffic inbound.
However, in nohz_full mode we don't want to interrupt the
nohz_full cores by default, so we limit the set of cores we use
to only the online housekeeping cores.
To make client code easier to read, we introduce a new nohz_full
accessor, housekeeping_cpumask(), which returns a pointer to the
housekeeping_mask if nohz_full is enabled, and otherwise returns
the cpu_possible_mask.
