sched/isolation: Make CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL select CONFIG_CPU_ISOLATION
CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL doesn't make sense without CONFIG_CPU_ISOLATION. In
fact enabling the first without the second is a regression as nohz_full=
boot parameter gets silently ignored.
Besides this unnatural combination hangs RCU gp kthread when running
rcutorture for reasons that are not yet fully understood:
rcu_preempt kthread starved for 9974 jiffies! g4294967208
+c4294967207 f0x0 RCU_GP_WAIT_FQS(3) ->state=0x402 ->cpu=0
rcu_preempt I 7464 8 2 0x80000000
Call Trace:
__schedule+0x493/0x620
schedule+0x24/0x40
schedule_timeout+0x330/0x3b0
? preempt_count_sub+0xea/0x140
? collect_expired_timers+0xb0/0xb0

This commit therefore makes NO_HZ_FULL select CPU_ISOLATION, which
prevents all these bad behaviours.
