rt-tests: add task isolation activation to cyclictest/oslat

From: Marcelo Tosatti
Date: Tue Aug 24 2021 - 11:43:27 EST



Check whether task isolation is configured, right before the latency
sensitive loop, and if so, activate it.

Use chisol util-linux tool to configure task isolation externally.
