Subject: [PATCH tip/core/rcu 15/28] torture: Prevent jitter processes from delaying failed run

From: "Paul E. McKenney" <paulmck@...nel.org>

Even when the kernel panics and qemu dies, runs with jitter enabled will
continue uselessly until the jitter.sh processes terminate.  This can
be annoying if a planned one-hour run instead dies during boot.

This commit therefore kills the jitter.sh processes when the run ends
more than one minute prior to the termination time specified by the
kvm.sh --duration argument or its default.
