rcutorture: Add races with task-exit processing
Several variants of Linux-kernel RCU interact with task-exit processing, including preemptible RCU, Tasks RCU, and Tasks Trace RCU. This commit therefore adds testing of this interaction to rcutorture by adding rcutorture.read_exit_burst and rcutorture.read_exit_delay kernel-boot parameters. These kernel parameters control the frequency and spacing of special read-then-exit kthreads that are spawned.
