Subject: [PATCH tip/core/rcu 12/17] torture: Throttle VERBOSE_TOROUT_*() output

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

This commit adds kernel boot parameters torture.verbose_sleep_frequency
and torture.verbose_sleep_duration, which allow VERBOSE_TOROUT_*() output
to be throttled with periodic sleeps on large systems.
