rcu-tasks: Use accurate runstart time for RCU Tasks boot-time testing

Browse Source 
Currently, test_rcu_tasks_callback() reads from the jiffies counter only
once when this function is invoked.  This introduces inaccuracies because
of the latencies induced by the synchronize_rcu_tasks*() invocations.
This commit therefore re-reads the jiffies counter at the beginning
of each test, thus avoiding penalizing later tests for the latencies
induced by earlier tests.

Therefore, this commit at the start of each RCU Tasks test, re-fetch the
jiffies time as the runstart time.
