[PATCH 07/12] housekeeping: Move it under its own config, independant from NO_HZ

From: Frederic Weisbecker
Date: Tue Oct 24 2017 - 09:07:38 EST


Split housekeeping config from CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL. This way we finally
separate the isolation code from nohz.

Although a dependency to CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL remains for now until the
housekeeping code doesn't deal anymore with nohz internals directly.
