rcu: make CPU stall warning timeout configurable

Also set the default to 60 seconds, up from the previous hard-coded timeout of 10 seconds. This allows people who care to set short timeouts, while avoiding people with unusual configurations (make randconfig!!!) from being bothered with spurious CPU stall warnings. Signed-off-by: Paul E.
