Currently, the rcu_torture_timer() function uses a single global
torture_random_state structure protected by a single global lock.
This conflicts to some extent with performance and scalability,
but even more with the goal of consolidating read-side testing
with rcu_torture_reader(). This commit therefore creates a per-CPU
torture_random_state structure for use by rcu_torture_timer() and
eliminates the lock.

[ paulmck: Make rcu_torture_timer_rand static, per 0day Test Robot report. ]
Some bugs reproduce quickly only at high CPU-hotplug rates, so the
rcutorture TREE03 scenario now has only 200 milliseconds spacing between
CPU-hotplug operations. At this rate, the torture-test pair of console
messages per operation becomes a bit voluminous. This commit therefore
converts the torture-test set of "verbose" kernel-boot arguments from
bool to int, and prints the extra console messages only when verbose=2.
The default is still verbose=1.

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.

This commit adds a torture_preempt_schedule() that is nothingness
in !PREEMPT builds and is preempt_schedule() otherwise. Then
torture_preempt_schedule() is used to eliminate several ugly #ifdefs,

The TOROUT_STRING() macro does not insert a space between the flag and
the message. In contrast, other similar torture-test dmesg messages
consistently supply a single space character. This difference makes the
output hard to read and to mechanically parse. This commit therefore
adds a space character between flag and message in TOROUT_STRING() output.

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().

User pr_alert/pr_cont for printing the logs from rcutorture module directly
instead of writing it to a buffer and then printing it. This allows us from not
having to allocate such buffers. Also remove a resulting empty function.
I tested this using the parse-torture.sh script as follows:
$ dmesg | grep torture > log.txt
$ bash parse-torture.sh log.txt test

There were no warnings which means that parsing went fine.

Creation of kthreads is not RCU-specific, so this commit abstracts

Not all of the rcutorture kthreads waited for kthread_should_stop()
before returning from their top-level functions, and none of them
used torture_shutdown_absorb() properly. These problems can result in
segfaults and hangs at shutdown time, and some recent changes perturbed
timing sufficiently to make them much more probable. This commit
therefore creates a torture_kthread_stopping() function that does the
proper kthread shutdown dance in one centralized location.
Accommodate this grouping by making VERBOSE_TOROUT_STRING() capable of
taking a non-const string as its argument, which allows the new
torture_kthread_stopping() to pass its "title" argument directly to
the updated version of VERBOSE_TOROUT_STRING().
