And there are quite a few that pass in zero for the seconds portion, and
many that pass in zero for both.
For the moment, I switched to ktime_set(), as you suggested.

Good point! I did this, but used ktime_snap instead of ktime_get().
I have to capture ktime_snap anyway for the loop termination condition.
Updated commit below.

torture: Convert torture_shutdown() to hrtimer
Upcoming changes to the timer wheel introduce significant inaccuracy
and possibly also an ultimate limit on timeout duration. This is
a problem for the current implementation of torture_shutdown() because
(1) shutdown times are user-specified, and can therefore be quite
long, and (2) the torture scripting will kill a test instance that
runs for more than a few minutes longer than scheduled. This commit
therefore converts the torture_shutdown() timed waits to an hrtimer.
