[PATCH V2 8/8] sched: don't queue timers on quiesced CPUs

[Viresh Kumar <viresh.kumar@linaro.org>]

CPUSets have cpusets.quiesce sysfs file now, with which some CPUs can opt for
isolating themselves from background kernel activities, like: timers & hrtimers.

get_nohz_timer_target() is used for finding suitable CPU for firing a timer. To
guarantee that new timers wouldn't be queued on quiesced CPUs, we need to modify
this routine.
