    nohz: Switch from "extended nohz" to "full nohz" based naming · c5bfece2
    Frederic Weisbecker authored
    "Extended nohz" was used as a naming base for the full dynticks
    API and Kconfig symbols. It reflects the fact the system tries
    to stop the tick in more places than just idle.
    
    But that "extended" name is a bit opaque and vague. Rename it to
    "full" makes it clearer what the system tries to do under this
    config: try to shutdown the tick anytime it can. The various
    constraints that prevent that to happen shouldn't be considered
    as fundamental properties of this feature but rather technical
    issues that may be solved in the future.
