Now that the on-demand vmstat workers commit is in mainline, it is
possible to eliminate vmstat_update()-induced OS jitter. This commit
updates the documentation accordingly.

This commit documents the ability to apply CPU affinity to WQ_SYSFS
workqueues, thus offloading them from the desired worker CPUs.

The kworker workqueue kthreads can also contribute to OS jitter.
The amount of jitter depends on their use, so this commit adds
documentation on avoiding OS jitter due to workqueue use.

The Linux kernel uses a number of per-CPU kthreads, any of which might
contribute to OS jitter at any time. The usual approach to normal
kthreads, namely to bind them to a "housekeeping" CPU, does not work
with these kthreads because they cannot operate correctly if moved to
some other CPU. This commit therefore lists ways of controlling OS
jitter from the Linux kernel's per-CPU kthreads. It also lists some
ways of diagnosing excessive jitter.
