Currently, rcutorture's Reader Batch checks measure from the end of
the previous grace period to the end of the current one.  This commit
tightens up these checks by measuring from the start and end of the same
grace period.  This involves adding rcu_batches_started() and friends
corresponding to the existing rcu_batches_completed() and friends.

We leave SRCU alone for the moment, as it does not yet have a way of
tracking both ends of its grace periods.

Now that the return type of rcu_batches_completed() and friends matches
that of the rcu_torture_ops structure's ->completed field, the wrapper
functions can be deleted.  This commit carries out that deletion, while

The counter returned by the various ->completed functions is subject to
overflow, which means that subtracting two such counters might result
in overflow, which invokes undefined behavior in the C standard.  This
commit therefore changes these functions and variables to unsigned to
avoid this undefined behavior.

When performing module cleanups by calling torture_cleanup() the
'torture_type' string in nullified However, callers are not necessarily
done, and might still need to reference the variable. This impacts
both rcutorture and locktorture, causing printing things like:

[   94.226618] (null)-torture: Stopping lock_torture_writer task
[   94.226624] (null)-torture: Stopping lock_torture_stats task

Thus delay this operation until the very end of the cleanup process.
The consequence (which shouldn't matter for this kid of program) is,
of course, that we delay the window between rmmod and modprobing,
for instance in module_torture_begin().

RCU-tasks requires the occasional voluntary context switch
from CPU-bound in-kernel tasks.  In some cases, this requires
instrumenting cond_resched().  However, there is some reluctance
to countenance unconditionally instrumenting cond_resched() (see
http://lwn.net/Articles/603252/), so this commit creates a separate
cond_resched_rcu_qs() that may be used in place of cond_resched() in
locations prone to long-duration in-kernel looping.

This commit currently instruments only RCU-tasks.  Future possibilities
include also instrumenting RCU, RCU-bh, and RCU-sched in order to reduce
IPI usage.

Although RCU is designed to handle arbitrary floods of callbacks, this
capability is not routinely tested.   This commit therefore adds a
cbflood capability in which kthreads repeatedly registers large numbers
of callbacks.  One such kthread is created for each four CPUs (rounding
up), and the test may be controlled by several cbflood_* kernel boot
parameters, which control the number of bursts per flood, the number
of callbacks per burst, the time between bursts, and the time between
floods.  The default values are large enough to exercise RCU's emergency
responses to callback flooding.

The original rcu_torture_writer() avoided testing the synchronous
grace-period primitives because they were simply wrappers around
call_rcu() invocations.  The testing of these synchronous primitives
was delegated to the fake writers.  However, there really is no excuse
not to test them, especially in the case of SRCU, where the wrappering
is somewhat more elaborate.  This commit therefore makes the default
rcutorture parameters cause rcu_torture_writer() to include synchronous

Not all of the rcutorture kthreads waited for kthread_should_stop()

torture_kthread_stopping() to pass its "title" argument directly to
