Subject: [PATCH tip/core/rcu 22/28] scftorture: Add full-test stutter capability

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

In virtual environments on systems with hardware assist, inter-processor
interrupts must do very different things based on whether the target
vCPU is running or not.  This commit therefore enables torture-test
stuttering to better test these running/not-running transitions.
