tile: nohz: warn if nohz_full uses hypervisor shared cores
The "hypervisor shared" cores are ones that the Tilera hypervisor
uses to receive interrupts to manage hypervisor-owned devices.
It's a bad idea to try to use those cores with nohz_full, since
they will get interrupted unpredictably -- and invisibly to Linux
tracing tools, since the interrupts are delivered at a higher
privilege level to the Tilera hypervisor.
Generate a clear warning at boot up that this doesn't end well
for the nohz_full cores in question.
