torture: Intensify locking test
The current lock_torture_writer() spends too much time sleeping and not enough time hammering locks, as in an eight-CPU test will often only be utilizing a CPU or two. This commit therefore makes lock_torture_writer() sleep less and hammer more. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
