The problem addressed in this patch is about affining unpinned timers. Adaptive or Full Dynticks CPUs are currently disturbed by unnecessary jitter due to firing of such timers on them. This patch will affine timers to online CPUs which are not full dynticks in NOHZ_FULL configured systems. It should not introduce overhead in nohz full off case due to static keys.
