Subject: [PATCH tip/core/rcu 1/5] 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.
