The RCU Tasks Trace grace periods are too slow, as in 40x slower than those of RCU Tasks. This is due to my having assumed a one-second grace period was OK, and thus not having optimized any further. This commit provides the first step in this optimization process, namely by allowing the task_list scan backoff interval to be specified on a per-flavor basis, and then speeding up the scans for RCU Tasks Trace. However, kernels built with CONFIG_TASKS_TRACE_RCU_READ_MB=y continue to use the old slower backoff, consistent with that Kconfig option's goal of reducing IPIs.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
