nohz: Do not warn about unstable tsc unless user uses nohz_full
If the user enables CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL and runs the kernel on a machine with an unstable TSC, it will produce a WARN_ON dump as well as taint the kernel. This is a bit extreme for a kernel that just enables a feature but doesn't use it. The warning should only happen if the user tries to use the feature by either adding nohz_full to the kernel command line, or by enabling CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL_ALL that makes nohz used on all CPUs at boot up. Note, this second feature should not (yet) be used by distros or anyone that doesn't care if NO_HZ is used or not. Signed-off-by: NSteven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Cc: Paul E.
