[PATCH RFC net-next 1/3] dpaa2-eth: skip isolated CPUs when allocating channels

The driver allocates one channel per online CPU and registers it with
that CPU's affine DPIO.

When isolcpus=managed_irq is used to reserve CPUs for latency-sensitive
applications, those CPUs are expected to be free of routine device
interrupts.

The DPIO driver assigns affine CPUs only from the HK_TYPE_MANAGED_IRQ
housekeeping mask, leaving isolated CPUs without an affine DPIO. This
defers dpaa2-eth probe indefinitely once channel setup reaches an
isolated CPU.

Restrict channel setup to the online CPUs in the HK_TYPE_MANAGED_IRQ
housekeeping mask, so that isolated CPUs are skipped and don't defer
probe.
