Paul E. McKenney 8bdf7a252b nohz_full: Add testing information to documentation 
This commit adds information about testing nohz_full, and also emphasizes
the fact that you need a multi-CPU system to get any benefit from nohz_full.

Paul E. McKenney ce5f4fc861 nohz_full: Document additional restrictions 
This commit calls out the potential for slowing the tick even when there
are multiple runnable processes per CPU,  It also points out that current
mainlined version keeps the tick going on at least one CPU even when all
CPUs are otherwise idle.  Finally, it notes the need for a 1-HZ tick in
order to calculate CPU load, maintain sched average, compute CFS entity
vruntime, compute avenrun, and carry out load balancing.

Make it more clear that there are three options, and give hints as
to which of the three is most likely to be useful in different
situations.
