rcutorture: Add grace period after CPU offline
Beyond a certain point in the CPU-hotplug offline process, timers get stranded on the outgoing CPU, and won't fire until that CPU comes back online, which might well be never. This commit therefore adds a hook in torture_onoff_init() that is invoked from torture_offline(), which rcutorture uses to occasionally wait for a grace period. This should result in failures for RCU implementations that rely on stranded timers eventually firing in the absence of the CPU coming back online.
