[PATCH 6/9] jrcu: make sampling frequency user changeable

[Joe Korty]

jrcu: make sampling interval user adjustable.

By default jrcu runs at 20 Hz.  The user can now change
that as shown in the below example.  Accepts any integer
between 1 and 1000, inclusive.

  echo hz=100 >/sys/kernel/debug/rcu/rcudata

This should make it easier to stress-test JRCU.
