Multiple runtime tests in RTLA rely on the get_workload_pids() shell
helper function to get the PIDs of both kernel and user workloads.
On some systems (e.g. Fedora 43), pgrep matches kernel thread names
including square brackets: "[osnoise/0]"; on other systems (e.g.
RHEL 9.8), brackets are not included: "osnoise/0".
Accept both as valid workload PIDs rather that just the non-bracket form
to make the tests work on all systems.

RTLA runtime tests that check workload processes (currently the test
case "verify -P/--priority" of timerlat.t and "verify the --priority/-P
param" of osnoise.t) use "pgrep timerlatu/" or "pgrep osnoise/"
respectively to identify the workload.
Make them more robust by adding a get_workload_pids() helper that
finds the main rtla process and returns the PIDs of all siblings other
than the test script itself, plus all child processes of kthreadd that
have the osnoise/timerlat kthread pattern comm.
This filters out any spurious processes not related to the running test
that happen to have "timerlatu/" or "osnoise/" in their command, for
example, a user grepping the same names at the time of the running of
the test.
