rcutorture: Make stutter_wait() caller restore priority
Currently, stutter_wait() will happily spin waiting for the stutter interval to end even if the caller is running at a real-time priority level. This could starve normal-priority tasks for no good reason. This commit therefore drops the calling task's priority to SCHED_OTHER MAX_NICE if stutter_wait() needs to wait. But when it waits, stutter_wait() returns true, which allows the caller to restore the priority if needed. Callers that were already running at SCHED_OTHER MAX_NICE obviously do not need any changes, but this commit also restores priority for higher-priority callers. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@kernel.org>
