I think you have hit a bug. I think the problem is
rcu_torture_disable_rt_throttle() modifies the sysctl knobs, but does
not change def_rt_bandwidth and reinitialize the rt_rq. I think we
need to call sched_rt_do_global() like the sysfs handler does, or
change the sysctl knobs to be earlier in the boot process before the
rt_rq are initialized.

Or better yet (not sure if it is possible) trigger the sysctl change
via the sysctl layer and let it do the same logic.

Thoughts?

Thanks.
