[PATCH v2 2/2] tracing: Avoid isolated CPUs when queueing fsnotify irqwork

From: Nicolas Saenz Julienne
Date: Tue Mar 01 2022 - 06:31:21 EST


There isn't any need for this irq_work to be run locally, so avoid doing
so when the CPU is isolated.

Note that this is especially bad as queueing it into a local isolated
CPU might add noise to what was meant to be traced in the first place.
