Subject: [PATCH tip/core/rcu 06/45] torture: Intensify locking test

From: "Paul E. McKenney" <paulmck@...ux.vnet.ibm.com>

The current lock_torture_writer() spends too much time sleeping and not
enough time hammering locks, as in an eight-CPU test will often only be
utilizing a CPU or two.  This commit therefore makes lock_torture_writer()
sleep less and hammer more.
