rcu: Increase rcutorture test coverage
Currently, rcutorture has separate torture_types to test synchronous, asynchronous, and expedited grace-period primitives. This has two disadvantages: (1) Three times the number of runs to cover the combinations and (2) Little testing of concurrent combinations of the three options. This commit therefore adds a pair of module parameters that control normal and expedited state, with the default being both types, randomly selected, by the fakewriter processes, thus reducing source-code size and increasing test coverage. In addtion, the writer task switches between asynchronous-normal and expedited grace-period primitives driven by the same pair of module parameters. Signed-off-by: Paul E.
