Subject[PATCH v2] hwmon: coretemp: avoid RDMSR interruptions to isolated CPUs

The coretemp driver uses rdmsr_on_cpu calls to read
MSR_IA32_PACKAGE_THERM_STATUS/MSR_IA32_THERM_STATUS registers,
which contain information about current core temperature.

For certain low latency applications, the RDMSR interruption exceeds
the applications requirements.

So disallow reading of crit_alarm and temp files via /sys, returning
-EINVAL, in case CPU isolation is enabled.

Temperature information from the housekeeping cores should be
sufficient to infer die temperature.

v2: improve changelog to mention that an error is returned,
and sysfs file is not disabled (Guenter Roeck)
