Since commit 041ee6f3727a ("kthread: Rely on HK_TYPE_DOMAIN for preferred
affinity management"), kthreads default to use the HK_TYPE_DOMAIN
cpumask. IOW, it is no longer affected by the setting of the nohz_full
boot kernel parameter.

That means HK_TYPE_KTHREAD should now be an alias of HK_TYPE_DOMAIN
instead of HK_TYPE_KERNEL_NOISE to correctly reflect the current kthread
behavior. Make the change as HK_TYPE_KTHREAD is still being used in
some networking code.

Fixes: 041ee6f3727a ("kthread: Rely on HK_TYPE_DOMAIN for preferred affinity management")
