Pull scheduler fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
 "Three patches addressing the fallout of the CPU_ISOLATION changes
  especially with NO_HZ_FULL plus documentation of boot parameter
  dependency"

* 'sched-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip:
  sched/isolation: Document boot parameters dependency on CONFIG_CPU_ISOLATION=y
  sched/isolation: Enable CONFIG_CPU_ISOLATION=y by default
  sched/isolation: Make CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL select CONFIG_CPU_ISOLATION

Make sure that CPUs running critical tasks are not disturbed by
any source of "noise" such as unbound workqueues, timers, kthreads...
Unbound jobs get offloaded to housekeeping CPUs.
Unbound jobs get offloaded to housekeeping CPUs. This is driven by
