[PATCH rcu v2 09/10] rcuscale: Move shutdown from wait_event() to wait_event_idle()

[Boqun Feng]

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

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.
