The rcu_torture_fqs() function can prevent the rcutorture tests from
completing, resulting in a hang.  This commit therefore ensures that
rcu_torture_fqs() will exit its inner loops at the end of the test,
and also applies the newish ULONG_CMP_LT() macro to time comparisons.

This seems like two entirely separate changes, which should go in
separate commits.

Interesting.  I was thinking of this as fixing hangs in rcutorture,
and was feeling somewhat bad about having the separate commit for the
part of the fix that I missed.  ;-)

							Thanx, Paul
