Subject: [PATCH tip/core/rcu 08/17] rcutorture: Use torture_hrtimeout_jiffies() to avoid busy-waits

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

Because rcu_torture_writer() and rcu_torture_fakewriter() predate
hrtimers, they do timer-wheel-decoupled timed waits by using the
timer-wheel-based schedule_timeout_interruptible() functions in
conjunction with a random udelay()-based wait.  This latter unnecessarily
burns CPU time, so this commit instead uses torture_hrtimeout_jiffies()
to decouple from the timer wheels without busy-waiting.
