[PATCH] rcu-tasks: Use accurate runstart time for RCU Tasks boot-time testing

From: Zqiang
Date: Mon Nov 21 2022 - 10:07:17 EST


Currently, only get jiffies once as the runstart time for all RCU
Tasks testing. it's not accurate, for each RCU Tasks type test, since
corresponding type of synchronize_rcu_tasks*() be invoked, so before
each RCU Tasks test starts, we need to wait for the grace period of
the previous RCU Tasks test to end, there will be a deviation in the
start time of the RCU Tasks test.

Therefore, this commit at the start of each RCU Tasks test, re-fetch the
jiffies time as the runstart time.
