rcutorture: Permit holding off CPU-hotplug operations during boot

Browse Source 
When rcutorture is started automatically at boot time, it might well
also start CPU-hotplug operations at that time, which might not be
desirable.  This commit therefore adds an rcutorture parameter that
allows CPU-hotplug operations to be held off for the specified number
of seconds after the start of boot.

rcutorture was built into the kernel and started
automatically at boot time, in which case it is useful

coming and going.

"FAILURE", or "RCU_HOTPLUG" indication to be printk()ed. The first
two are self-explanatory, while the last indicates that while there
were no RCU failures, CPU-hotplug problems were detected.
