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.
