tick_nohz_full_mask lists the CPUs that are nohz_full. This is only
needed when CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL is defined. tick_nohz_full_cpu() allows
a specific CPU to be tested against the mask, and evaluates to false
when CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL is not defined.
The resctrl code needs to pick a CPU to run some work on, a new helper
prefers housekeeping CPUs by examining the tick_nohz_full_mask. Hiding
the declaration behind #ifdef CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL forces all the users to
be behind an ifdef too.
Move the tick_nohz_full_mask declaration, this lets callers drop the
ifdef, and guard access to tick_nohz_full_mask with IS_ENABLED() or
something like tick_nohz_full_cpu().
The definition does not need to be moved as any callers should be
removed at compile time unless CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL is defined.

checkpatch.pl reports warning:
WARNING: 'Tested-by:' is the preferred signature form
#27:
Tested-By: Peter Newman <[email protected]>
The same warning is reported on all following patches in this series.
According to Documentation/process/submitting-patches.rst, "Tested-by"
(instead of "Tested-By") is used.
Could you please fix the warnings?
Thanks.
