nohz: New option to default all CPUs in full dynticks range
Provide a new kernel config that defaults all CPUs to be part
of the full dynticks range, except the boot one for timekeeping.
This default setting is overriden by the nohz_full= boot option
if passed by the user.
This is helpful for those who don't need a finegrained range
of full dynticks CPU and also for automated testing.
