rtla/hwnoise: Reduce runtime to 75%
osnoise runs 100% of time by default. It makes sense because osnoise is preemptive. hwnoise checks preemption once a second, so it reduces system progress. Reduce runtime to 75% to avoid problems by default. I added a Fixes as it might avoid problems for first time users as it lands on distros.
