CPUSets have cpusets.quiesce sysfs file now, with which some CPUs can opt for
isolating themselves from background kernel activities, like: timers & hrtimers.
get_nohz_timer_target() is used for finding suitable CPU for firing a timer. To
guarantee that new timers wouldn't be queued on quiesced CPUs, we need to modify
this routine.
