The isolcpus= kernel boot parameter restricts userspace from scheduling on
the specified CPUs.
If a CPU is specified that is outside the range of 0 to nr_cpu_ids,
cpulist_parse() will return -ERANGE, return an empty cpulist, and
fail silently.
This patch adds an error message to isolated_cpu_setup() to indicate to
the user that something has gone awry, and returns 0 on error.
