Subject: [RFC PATCH 10/11] torture: support randomized shuffling for proxy
 exec testing

Quick hack to better surface bugs in proxy execution.

Shuffling sets the same cpu affinities for all tasks, which makes us
less likely to hit paths involving migrating blocked tasks onto a cpu
where they can't run. Add an element of randomness to allow affinities
of different writer tasks to diverge.
