rcuperf: Add ability to performance-test call_rcu() and friends
This commit upgrades rcuperf so that it can do performance testing on asynchronous grace-period primitives such as call_srcu(). There is a new rcuperf.gp_async module parameter that specifies this new behavior, with the pre-existing rcuperf.gp_exp testing expedited grace periods such as synchronize_rcu_expedited, and with the default being to test synchronous non-expedited grace periods such as synchronize_rcu(). There is also a new rcuperf.gp_async_max module parameter that specifies the maximum number of outstanding callbacks per writer kthread, defaulting to 1,000. When this limit is exceeded, the writer thread invokes the appropriate flavor of rcu_barrier() to wait for callbacks to drain. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com> [ paulmck: Removed the redundant initialization noted by Arnd Bergmann. ]
