Thank you, Arnd!

I ended up squashing in the alternative change below before I saw your
email address.  This is currently untested, so I might well end up using
yours instead should breakage ensue.  Given that I haven't done much
with ktime_t, breakage is rather likely.

Thoughts?

							Thanx, Paul

    torture: Convert torture_shutdown() to hrtimer
    
    Upcoming changes to the timer wheel introduce significant inaccuracy
    and possibly also an ultimate limit on timeout duration.  This is
    a problem for the current implementation of torture_shutdown() because
    (1) shutdown times are user-specified, and can therefore be quite
    long, and (2) the torture scripting will kill a test instance that
    runs for more than a few minutes longer than scheduled.  This commit
    therefore converts the torture_shutdown() timed waits to an hrtimer.
