Subject: [PATCH] rcutorture: Convert schedule_timeout_uninterruptible() to mdelay() in rcu_torture_stall()

For kernels built with enable PREEMPT_NONE and CONFIG_DEBUG_ATOMIC_SLEEP,
running the RCU stall tests.

runqemu kvm slirp nographic qemuparams="-m 1024 -smp 4"
bootparams="nokaslr console=ttyS0 rcutorture.stall_cpu=30
rcutorture.stall_no_softlockup=1 rcutorture.stall_cpu_irqsoff=1
rcutorture.stall_cpu_block=1" -d

[   10.841071] rcu-torture: rcu_torture_stall begin CPU stall
[   10.841073] rcu_torture_stall start on CPU 3.
[   10.841077] BUG: scheduling while atomic: rcu_torture_sta/66/0x0000000

The above calltrace occurs in the local_irq_disable/enable() critical
section call schedule_timeout(), and invoke schedule_timeout() also
implies a quiescent state, of course it also fails to trigger RCU stall,
this commit therefore use mdelay() instead of schedule_timeout() to
trigger RCU stall.
