sched/isolation: Make CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL select CONFIG_CPU_ISOLATION

CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL doesn't make sense without CONFIG_CPU_ISOLATION. In
fact enabling the first without the second is a regression as nohz_full=
boot parameter gets silently ignored.

Besides this unnatural combination hangs RCU gp kthread when running
rcutorture for reasons that are not yet fully understood:

	rcu_preempt kthread starved for 9974 jiffies! g4294967208
	+c4294967207 f0x0 RCU_GP_WAIT_FQS(3) ->state=0x402 ->cpu=0
	rcu_preempt     I 7464     8      2 0x80000000
	Call Trace:
		__schedule+0x493/0x620
		schedule+0x24/0x40
		schedule_timeout+0x330/0x3b0
		? preempt_count_sub+0xea/0x140
		? collect_expired_timers+0xb0/0xb0
		rcu_gp_kthread+0x6bf/0xef0

This commit therefore makes NO_HZ_FULL select CPU_ISOLATION, which
prevents all these bad behaviours.
