selftests/cgroup: Drop invalid boot isolation comparison

check_isolcpus() clears ISOLCPUS before rebuilding it from sched domain
data. Comparing that empty value with
/sys/devices/system/cpu/isolated makes the test fail whenever
isolcpus=domain is present.

That sysfs file is generated from HK_TYPE_DOMAIN_BOOT and does not change
when cpuset updates HK_TYPE_DOMAIN. Re-reading it cannot validate dynamic
housekeeping updates. The cpuset.cpus.isolated and sched domain checks
already cover the two dynamic interfaces, so remove the invalid comparison.

This can be reproduced on a kernel booted with isolcpus=domain,15:

    # tools/testing/selftests/cgroup/test_cpuset_prs.sh

The test fails its first state-matrix isolation check before the change and
continues past that check afterward.
