sched/isolation: Eliminate NO_HZ_FULL_ALL

Browse source 
Commit 6f1982fedd ("sched/isolation: Handle the nohz_full= parameter")
broke CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL_ALL=y kernels.  This breakage is due to the code
under CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL_ALL failing to invoke the shiny new housekeeping
functions.  This means that rcutorture scenario TREE04 now emits RCU CPU
stall warnings due to the RCU grace-period kthreads not being awakened
at a time of their choosing, or perhaps even not at all:

[   27.731422] rcu_bh kthread starved for 21001 jiffies! g18446744073709551369 c18446744073709551368 f0x0 RCU_GP_WAIT_FQS(3) ->state=0x402 ->cpu=3

Because no one has complained about CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL_ALL=y being broken,
I hypothesize that no one is in fact using it, other than rcutorture.
This commit therefore eliminates CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL_ALL and updates
rcutorture's config files to instead use the nohz_full= kernel parameter
to put the desired CPUs into nohz_full mode.

@ -131,13 +131,6 @@ error message, and the boot CPU will be removed from the mask. Note that
this means that your system must have at least two CPUs in order for
CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL=y to do anything for you.
Alternatively, the CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL_ALL=y Kconfig parameter specifies
that all CPUs other than the boot CPU are adaptive-ticks CPUs. This
Kconfig parameter will be overridden by the "nohz_full=" boot parameter,
so that if both the CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL_ALL=y Kconfig parameter and
the "nohz_full=1" boot parameter is specified, the boot parameter will
prevail so that only CPU 1 will be an adaptive-ticks CPU.
Finally, adaptive-ticks CPUs must have their RCU callbacks offloaded.
This is covered in the "RCU IMPLICATIONS" section below.
