[PATCH tip/core/rcu 41/45] torture: Put qemu into the background

[Paul E. McKenney]

From: "Paul E. McKenney" <paulmck@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Currently, qemu runs in the foreground, which prevents the script from
killing it in case the kernel locks up.  This commit therefore places
qemu into the background, allowing the script to recover from lockups.
