rcuscale: Move shutdown from wait_event() to wait_event_idle()
[ Upstream commit ef1ef3d47677dc191b88650a9f7f91413452cc1b ]
The rcu_scale_shutdown() and kfree_scale_shutdown() kthreads/functions
use wait_event() to wait for the rcuscale test to complete. However,
each updater thread in such a test waits for at least 100 grace periods.
If each grace period takes more than 1.2 seconds, which is long, but
not insanely so, this can trigger the hung-task timeout.
This commit therefore replaces those wait_event() calls with calls to
wait_event_idle(), which do not trigger the hung-task timeout.
