This adds 00-tuned-pre-udev.sh script into initrd image which is getting
tuned.cpumask kernel command line parameter and sets workqueue affinity
accordingly.

Otherwise, a process running on isolated CPUs will be
interrupted by timers or unwanted VM exists.

As the cpu-partitioning profile does not use isolcpus=,
the kernel can end up creating long living timers on
nohz_full CPUs during early boot. Those timers will
fire later, causing jitter.
However, recent Linux kernel will always try to migrate
unpinned timers away from nohz_full CPUs when timer
migration is enabled which is what we want.
NOTE: Older kernels would migrate unpinned timers from
idle CPUs to busy CPUs without regard if the
CPU is nohz_full. This would certainly cause
trouble to applications that takes 100% of the
CPU in user-space (eg. DPDK). So, enabling
timer migration is only safe on recent kernels.

The profile is delivered in the new tuned-profiles-cpu-partitioning subpackage.
Also moved defirqaffinity.py to the base package to allow other profiles
to use it.
