rcu: make rcutorture even more vicious: invoke RCU readers from irq handlers (timers)

Browse source 
This patch allows torturing RCU from irq handlers (timers, in this case).
A new module parameter irqreader enables such additional torturing,
and is enabled by default.  Variants of RCU that do not tolerate readers
being called from irq handlers (e.g., SRCU) ignore irqreader.

This module has the following parameters:

The default is twice the number of CPUs. Why twice?

irqreaders Says to invoke RCU readers from irq level. This is currently
done via timers. Defaults to "1" for variants of RCU that
permit this. (Or, more accurately, variants of RCU that do
-not- permit this know to ignore this variable.)

shuffle_interval
The number of seconds to keep the test threads affinitied
to a particular subset of the CPUs, defaults to 3 seconds.
Used in conjunction with test_no_idle_hz.

statistics are printed when the module is unloaded.

stutter The length of time to run the test before pausing for this

to run and pause for (roughly) five-second intervals.
