The code ensures that when nohz full is running, at least the
boot CPU serves as a housekeeper and it can't be later offlined.
Let's assert this assumption to make sure that we have CPUs to
handle unbound jobs like workqueues and timers while nohz full
CPUs run undisturbed.
Also improve the comments on housekeeper offlining prevention.
