rtla: Automatically move rtla to a house-keeping cpu
When the user sets -c <cpu-list> try to move rtla out of the <cpu-list>, even without an -H option. This is useful to avoid having rtla interfering with the workload. This works by removing <cpu-list> from rtla's current affinity. If rtla fails to move itself away it is not that of a problem as this is an automatic measure.
