Provide a new kernel config that defaults all CPUs to be part of the full dynticks range, except the boot one for timekeeping.
This default setting is overriden by the nohz_full= boot option if passed by the user. This is helpful for those who don't need a finegrained range of full dynticks CPU and also for automated testing.
