Commit 5c4991e24c69 ("sched/isolation: Split out new
CONFIG_CPU_ISOLATION=y config from CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL") can result in RCU
CPU stall warnings when running rcutorture with CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL_ALL=y
and CONFIG_CPU_ISOLATION=n. These warnings are caused by RCU's
grace-period kthreads sleeping for a few jiffies, but never being
awakened:

This commit therefore makes NO_HZ_FULL select CPU_ISOLATION, which
prevents this behavior and seems like it was the original intention in
any case.
