[PATCH RFC] rcu: torture: shorten the time between forward-progress tests

[zhouzhouyi at gmail.com]

From: Zhouyi Zhou <zhouzhouyi at gmail.com>

Currently, default time between rcu torture forward-progress tests is 60HZ,
Under this configuration, false positive caused by __stack_chk_fail [1] is
difficult to reproduce (needs average 5*420 seconds for SRCU-P),
which means one has to invoke [2] 5 times in average to make [1] appear.

With time between rcu torture forward-progress tests be 1 HZ, above
phenomenon will be reproduced within 3 minutes, which means we can
reproduce [1] everytime we invoke [2].

Although [1] is a false positive, this change will make possible future
true bugs easier to be discovered.
