Subject: [PATCH 5.15 1/2] torture: Avoid torture-test reboot loops

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

[ Upstream commit 10f84c2cfb5045e37d78cb5d4c8e8321e06ae18f ]

Currently, the various torture tests sometimes react to an early-boot
bug by rebooting.  This is almost always counterproductive, needlessly
consuming CPU time and bloating the console log.  This commit therefore
adds the "-no-reboot" argument to qemu so that reboot requests will
cause qemu to exit.
