The purpose of torture_runnable is to allow rcutorture and locktorture
to be started and stopped via sysfs when they are built into the kernel
(as in not compiled as loadable modules). However, the 0444 permissions
for both instances of torture_runnable prevent this use case from ever
being put into practice. Given that there have been no complaints
about this deficiency, it is reasonable to conclude that no one actually
makes use of this sysfs capability. The perf_runnable module parameter
for rcuperf is in the same situation.
This commit therefore removes both torture_runnable instances as well
as perf_runnable.

The maxcpus= kernel boot parameter limits the number of CPUs brought
online at boot time, but it does nothing to prevent additional CPUs
from being brought up later. Placing a hard cap on the total number
of CPUs is instead the job of the nr_cpus= boot parameter. This commit
therefore switches the configfrag_boot_cpus() shell function from maxcpus=
to nr_cpus=. This commit also adds a nr_cpus=43 kernel parameter to RCU's
TREE01 test scenario, but retains the maxcpus=8 kernel parameter in order
to test the ability of RCU expedited grace periods to handle new CPUs
coming online for the first time during grace-period initialization.
Finally, this commit makes the torture scheduling allow maxcpus= to
override other means of specifying the number of CPUs to allow for.
This last works because the torture kernel modules size their workloads
based on the number of CPUs present at the start of the test, not the
ultimate number of CPUs.

Strings used in event tracing need to be specially handled, for example,
being copied to the trace buffer instead of being pointed to by the trace
buffer. Although the TPS() macro can be used to "launder" pointed-to
strings, this might not be all that effective within a loadable module.
This commit therefore copies rcutorture's strings to the trace buffer.

Real time mutexes is one of the few general primitives
that we do not have in locktorture. Address this -- a few
considerations:
o To spice things up, enable competing thread(s) to become
rt, such that we can stress different prio boosting paths
in the rtmutex code. Introduce a ->task_boost callback,
only used by rtmutex-torturer. Tasks will boost/deboost
around every 50k (arbitrarily) lock/unlock operations.
o Hold times are similar to what we have for other locks:
only occasionally having longer hold times (per ~200k ops).
So we roughly do two full rt boost+deboosting ops with
short hold times.

The current rcutorture testing does not do any cleanup operations.
This works because the srcu_struct is statically allocated, but it
does represent a memory leak of the associated dynamically allocated
->per_cpu_ref per-CPU variables. However, rcutorture currently uses
a statically allocated srcu_struct, which cannot legally be passed to
cleanup_srcu_struct(). Therefore, this commit adds a second form
of srcu (called srcud) that dynamically allocates and frees the
associated per-CPU variables. This commit also adds a ->cleanup()
member to rcu_torture_ops that is invoked at the end of the test,
after ->cb_barriers(). This ->cleanup() pointer is NULL for all
existing tests, and thus only used for scrud. Finally, the SRCU-P
torture-test configuration selects scrud instead of srcu, with SRCU-N
continuing to use srcu, thereby testing both static and dynamic
srcu_struct structures.

Tiny RCU supports both RCU-sched and RCU-bh, but only RCU-sched is

changes the TINY02 configuration to test RCU-bh, with TINY01 continuing
to test RCU-sched.
This shortcoming of the current rcutorture tests was located by mutation
testing by Iftekhar. The idea behind mutation testing is to automatically
mutate the code under test. If a given mutant is not caught by testing,
this is a hint that the testing might need to be improved, as was the
case here. Note that this is only a hint because it is possible to mutate
the code into something else that still works. For example, a mutation
that removes (say) a WARN_ON() will not normally result in a test failure.
