From: Zqiang <qiang.zhang1211@xxxxxxxxx> For rcutorture tests on RCU implementations that support force-quiescent-state operations and that set the fqs_duration module parameter greater than zero, the fqs_task kthread will be created. However, if the fqs_holdoff module parameter is not set, then its default value of zero will cause fqs_task enter a long-term busy loop until stopped by kthread_stop(). This commit therefore adds a fqs_holdoff check before the fqs_task is created, making sure that whenever the fqs_task is created, the fqs_holdoff will be greater than zero.
