Frederic Weisbecker a382bf9344 nohz: Assign timekeeping duty to a CPU outside the full dynticks range ... This way the full nohz CPUs can safely run with the tick stopped with a guarantee that somebody else is taking care of the jiffies and GTOD progression. Once the duty is attributed to a CPU, it won't change. Also that CPU can't enter into dyntick idle mode or be hot unplugged. This may later be improved from a power consumption POV. At least we should be able to share the duty amongst all CPUs outside the full dynticks range. Then the duty could even be shared with full dynticks CPUs when those can't stop their tick for any reason. But let's start with that very simple approach first.
