[LTP] [PATCH] realtime/prio-preempt: take cpu isolation into consideration

By default the test starts N-1 busy threads to monopolize N-1 available CPUs,
where N is the number of all available CPUs. However, when CPU isolation is
applied, this will lead to a hang scenario where all housekeeping CPUs are
hogged as isolated CPUs do not share the N-1 busy threads.
