[PATCH] hazptrtorture: Fix inverted sleep condition in do_pending kthread

The do_pending kthread never sleeps. Its supposed to.
kthread_do_pending_ms sets the gap between cleanups, and the docs
say so too. But the sleep sits behind torture_must_stop(), and thats
false while the test runs. So the kthread never sleeps. It just loops.
It drains the pending lists over and over, no pause, and burns a full
CPU for the whole test.

Flip the check. With !torture_must_stop() it sleeps for
kthread_do_pending_ms between passes. When the test stops it does one
last cleanup and exits. Nothing left to do, so no sleep needed then.
