Subject: [PATCH net-next -v5] net/core/dev.c: enable timestamp static key if CPU isolation is configured

From: Marcelo Tosatti <[email-masked]>
Date: Thu, 7 Mar 2024 14:14:03 -0300

For systems that use CPU isolation (via nohz_full), creating or destroying
a socket with SO_TIMESTAMP, SO_TIMESTAMPNS or SO_TIMESTAMPING with flag
SOF_TIMESTAMPING_RX_SOFTWARE will cause a static key to be enabled/disabled.
This in turn causes undesired IPIs to isolated CPUs.

So enable the static key unconditionally, if CPU isolation is enabled,
thus avoiding the IPIs.

v4: additional changelog improvements (Willem de Bruijn)
v5: late initcall not necessary, can use subsys initcall (Willem de Bruijn)
