[PATCH 0/2] rcutorture: Some PREEMPT_RT fixlets

From: Valentin Schneider

Hi folks,

I've been meaning to run RCU torture under v5.13-rt1 to validate my hacking
around the RCU offloaded state [1], but have hit some warnings.


The second patch clearly isn't a thing of beauty, but FWIW it lets me run RCU
torture tests without any extra steps.

As mentioned over IRC, this started as a .setup() callback for the kosftirqd
threads gated behind CONFIG_RCU_BOOST && CONFIG_RCU_TORTURE_TEST, but I figured
keeping RCU torture specific stuff within rcutorture.c would be a tad smarter.
I hate either version, but here it is regardless.

Cheers,
Valentin
