[RT][PATCH 1/2] rcutorture: Also force sched priority to timersd on boosting test

[Frederic Weisbecker <frederic@kernel.org>]

ksoftirqd is statically boosted to the priority level right above the
one of rcu_torture_boost() so that timers, which torture readers rely on,
get a chance to run while rcu_torture_boost() is polling.

However timers processing got split from ksoftirqd into their own kthread
(timersd) that isn't boosted. It has the same SCHED_FIFO low prio as
rcu_torture_boost() and therefore timers can't preempt it and may
starve.

The issue can be triggered in practice on v5.17.1-rt17 using:

	./kvm.sh --allcpus --configs TREE04 --duration 10m --kconfig "CONFIG_EXPERT=y CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT=y"

triggering the following:

	 rcu-torture: rcu_torture_boost boosting failed
	 Boost inversion thread ->rt_priority 1 gp_state 12908 jiffies 3501
	 rcu: rcu_preempt: wait state: RCU_GP_WAIT_FQS(5) ->state: 0x402 ->rt_priority 2 delta ->gp_start 3502 ->gp_activity 3502 ->gp_req_activity 3502 ->gp_wake_time 3502 ->gp_wake_seq 12897 ->gp_seq 12901 ->gp_seq_needed 12904 ->gp_max 4057 ->gp_flags 0x0

Fix this with statically boosting timersd just like is done with ksoftirqd.
