Aaron Tomlin f10c23fa15 tick/nohz: avoid showing '(null)' if nohz_full= not set
In the context of CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL=y, tick_nohz_full_mask (of type
cpumask_var_t) is initialised to 0. Memory is only allocated to the cpumask
data structure, in tick_nohz_full_setup(), when Linux kernel boot-time
parameter "nohz_full=" is correctly specified (see housekeeping_setup()).
If "nohz_full=" is not set and an attempt is made to read
/sys/devices/system/cpu/nohz_full, '(null)' can be displayed:

    ❯ cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/nohz_full
    (null)

This patch changes the output to print a newline (or 0x0A) instead of
'(null)', making it consistent with print_cpus_isolated() behaviour.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
