Subject: [PATCH] Add missing kernel log when enabling NO_HZ_FULL is not possible
Date:   Fri, 11 Jun 2021 16:09:37 +0530

Commit 4f49b90abb4aca ("sched-clock: Migrate to use new tick
dependency mask model") had also removed the kernel warning
message informing the user that it was not possible to turn
on NO_HZ_FULL. Adding back that log message here. It is
unhelpful when the kernel turns off NO_HZ_FULL silently
without informing anyone.
