locktorture: Make the rt_boost factor a tunable

Browse Source 
The rt boosting in locktorture has a factor variable s currently large enough
that boosting only happens once every minute or so. Add a tunable to reduce the
factor so that boosting happens more often, to test paths and arrive at failure
modes earlier. With this change, I can set the factor to like 50 and have the
boosting happens every 10 seconds or so.

Tested with boot parameters:
locktorture.torture_type=mutex_lock
locktorture.onoff_interval=1
locktorture.nwriters_stress=8
locktorture.stutter=0
locktorture.rt_boost=1
locktorture.rt_boost_factor=50
locktorture.nlocks=3
