[PATCH] rcutorture: Avoid soft lockup during cpu stall

[wander]

From: Wander Lairson Costa <wander@xxxxxxxxxx>

If we use the module stall_cpu option, we may get a soft lockup warning
if we also don't pass the stall_cpu_block option.

We introduce the stall_no_softlockup option to avoid a soft lockup on
cpu stall even if we don't use the stall_cpu_block option.
