Userspace applications should be allowed to expect the membarrier system call with MEMBARRIER_CMD_SHARED command to issue memory barriers on nohz_full CPUs, but synchronize_sched() does not take those into account. Given that we do not want unrelated processes to be able to affect real-time sensitive nohz_full CPUs, simply return ENOSYS when membarrier is invoked on a kernel with enabled nohz_full CPUs.
