rcutorture: Halt forward-progress checks at end of run
Once removed, an rcu_torture element can be deferred-freed by a chain of call_rcu() invocations, with each callback invoking another round of call_rcu() until either a fixed number of call_rcu() invocations have been chained or until the test ends. This means that if the test ends, some of the rcu_torture elements will be "stranded" partway through the deferred-free process, which results in false-positive warnings from rcu_torture_writer() due to lack of forward progress should the test end just at the end of a stutter interval. This commit therefore suppresses rcu_torture_writer()'s forward-progress checks when the test ends in order to avoid these false-positive reports..
