The rcu_normal_after_boot=1 kernel parameter (which is enabled by
default on CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT kernels) avoids the use of IPIs
to expedite the runtime of synchronize_rcu_expedited() callers.
Enable this in tuned to avoid such IPIs on !CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT kernels
as well.

The interruptions avoided by the rtentsk logic:
"Add plugin to open a socket with SOF_TIMESTAMPING_OPT_TX_SWHW.
This is for avoiding interruptions due to static key IPIs due
to opening socket with timestamping enabled (by opening a
socket ourselves the static key is kept enabled)."
Are also desired on systems that use cpu-partitioning.

Commit 49cc817871
("realtime: Set tsc as 'reliable'") reads:
"We already disable the clocksource watchdog, it's there to double-check
whether clock results are coherent between reads. But a new reliability
test was introduced in recent kernels[1], tracking tsc drift between
CPUs[2]. It works by programming timers on all CPUs, including isolated
ones, and checks whether the tsc was adjusted in between runs. This
introduces unwarranted latency on real time systems. So let's promote
tsc to 'reliable', which disables both checks."
The timer is also undesired interruption to systems that use cpu-partitioning.

The following sysctl settings are the same between cpu-partitioning and
realtime profiles:
kernel.hung_task_timeout_secs = 600
kernel.nmi_watchdog = 0
vm.stat_interval = 10
kernel.timer_migration = 0
Unify them in the network-latency profile, parent of both profiles.

Also removed the parameter from the realtime profile, because it already
includes the network-latency profile.

Added new tuned-adm functionality 'profile_info'. It has optional parameter
'profile_name'. If called without parameter, active profile is used.
It outputs name of the profile it is querying, profile summary, and profile
description. If there is no profile summary or description available it
outputs empty string(s).
Extended tuned-adm 'list' functionality. It now displays profile summary
in the list (if available).
Added summary to profiles.
Extended D-Bus API to support the new feature and for better Cockpit support:
- Added 'profile_info' method. It gets profile_name argument and it queries
the requested profile for information. If profile_name is empty string it
queries the active/selected profile. It returns tuple of the following
format (status, profile_name, summary, description), where status is
boolean. If it is False, the query mechanism failed and the other fields
don't contain valid data
- Added 'profiles2' method. It's extension of 'profiles' method. It returns
list of tuples. Tuples have following format:
(profile_name, profile_summary)
