Subject: [RFC][Patch v1 1/3] sched/isolation: API to get num of hosekeeping CPUs

Introduce a new API num_housekeeping_cpus(), that can be used to retrieve
the number of housekeeping CPUs by reading an atomic variable
__num_housekeeping_cpus. This variable is set from housekeeping_setup().

This API is introduced for the purpose of drivers that were previously
relying only on num_online_cpus() to determine the number of MSIX vectors
to create. In an RT environment with large isolated but a fewer
housekeeping CPUs this was leading to a situation where an attempt to
move all of the vectors corresponding to isolated CPUs to housekeeping
CPUs was failing due to per CPU vector limit.

If there are no isolated CPUs specified then the API returns the number
of all online CPUs.
