rcu: Remove *_SLOW_* Kconfig options

Browse Source 
The RCU_TORTURE_TEST_SLOW_PREINIT, RCU_TORTURE_TEST_SLOW_PREINIT_DELAY,
RCU_TORTURE_TEST_SLOW_PREINIT_DELAY, RCU_TORTURE_TEST_SLOW_INIT,
RCU_TORTURE_TEST_SLOW_INIT_DELAY, RCU_TORTURE_TEST_SLOW_CLEANUP,
and RCU_TORTURE_TEST_SLOW_CLEANUP_DELAY Kconfig options are only
useful for torture testing, and there are the rcutree.gp_cleanup_delay,
rcutree.gp_init_delay, and rcutree.gp_preinit_delay kernel boot parameters
that rcutorture can use instead.  The effect of these parameters is to
artificially slow down grace period initialization and cleanup in order
to make some types of race conditions happen more often.

This commit therefore simplifies Tree RCU a bit by removing the Kconfig
options and adding the corresponding kernel parameters to rcutorture's
.boot files instead.  However, this commit also leaves out the kernel
parameters for TREE02, TREE04, and TREE07 in order to have about the
same number of tests slowed as not slowed.  TREE01, TREE03, TREE05,
and TREE06 are slowed, and the rest are not slowed.

help
This option delays grace-period pre-initialization (the
propagation of CPU-hotplug changes up the rcu_node combining
tree) for a few jiffies between initializing each pair of
consecutive rcu_node structures. This helps to expose races
involving grace-period pre-initialization, in other words, it
makes your kernel less stable. It can also greatly increase
grace-period latency, especially on systems with large numbers
of CPUs. This is useful when torture-testing RCU, but in
almost no other circumstance.
