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.
