Subject: [PATCH rcu 2/6] rcutorture: Suppress debugging grace period delays during flooding

Tree RCU supports grace-period delays using the rcutree.gp_cleanup_delay,
rcutree.gp_init_delay, and rcutree.gp_preinit_delay kernel boot
parameters.  These delays are strictly for debugging purposes, and have
proven quite effective at exposing bugs involving race with CPU-hotplug
operations.  However, these delays can result in false positives when
used in conjunction with callback flooding, for example, those generated
by the rcutorture.fwd_progress kernel boot parameter.

This commit therefore suppresses grace-period delays while callback
flooding is in progress.
