[PATCH rcu 32/32] rcu-tasks: Use delayed_work to delay rcu_tasks_verify_self_tests()

From: Waiman Long <longman@redhat.com>

Commit 2585014188d5 ("rcu-tasks: Be more patient for RCU Tasks
boot-time testing") fixes false positive rcu_tasks verification check
failure by repeating the test once every second until timeout using
schedule_timeout_uninterruptible().

Since rcu_tasks_verify_selft_tests() is called from do_initcalls()
as a late_initcall, this has the undesirable side effect of delaying
other late_initcall's queued after it by a second or more. Fix this by
instead using delayed_work to repeat the verification check.
