Using dracut is another way to get an initramfs for KVM-based RCU
torture tests, which is more flexible than using the host's initramfs
image, because modules and binaries may be added or removed via dracut
command options. So add an example in the document, in case that there
are some situations where host's initramfs couldn't be used.

The CONFIG_RCU_CPU_STALL_INFO has been default-y for a couple of
releases with no complaints, so it is time to eliminate this Kconfig
option entirely, so that the long-form RCU CPU stall warnings cannot
be disabled. This commit does just that.

This commit updates TREE_RCU-kconfig.txt to reflect changes in RCU's
Kconfig setup. This commit also updates rcutorture's Kconfig fragments
to account for Kconfig parameters that are now driven directly off of
other Kconfig parameters.
The #CHECK# prefix tells the rcutorture scripts to take no action to try
to set the Kconfig parameter, but to check that it does in fact get set.
This is useful for verifying that Kconfig parameters that are supposed
to be automatically set do in fact get set to the required values.

PREEMPT_RCU and TREE_PREEMPT_RCU serve the same function after
TINY_PREEMPT_RCU has been removed. This patch removes TREE_PREEMPT_RCU
and uses PREEMPT_RCU config option in its place.

Rename CONFIG_RCU_BOOST_PRIO to CONFIG_RCU_KTHREAD_PRIO and use this
value for both the per-CPU kthreads (rcuc/N) and the rcu boosting
threads (rcub/n).
Also, create the module_parameter rcutree.kthread_prio to be used on
the kernel command line at boot to set a new value (rcutree.kthread_prio=N).

The CONFIG_RCU_CPU_STALL_VERBOSE Kconfig parameter causes preemptible
RCU's CPU stall warnings to dump out any preempted tasks that are blocking
the current RCU grace period. This information is useful, and the default
has been CONFIG_RCU_CPU_STALL_VERBOSE=y for some years. It is therefore
time for this commit to remove this Kconfig parameter, so that future
kernel builds will always act as if CONFIG_RCU_CPU_STALL_VERBOSE=y.

The CONFIG_PROVE_RCU_DELAY Kconfig parameter doesn't appear to be very
effective at finding race conditions, so this commit removes it.

It used to be that:
git ls-files "*Kconfig*"
would find all Kconfig files and would only find Kconfig files. This
commit renames TREE_RCU-Kconfig.txt to TREE_RCU-kconfig.txt so that this
is once again true.

The TINY_RCU test cases were first put in place many years ago, and have
been incrementally modified rather than being reworked. This commit
therefore completes a long-overdue reworking of the TINY_RCU test cases.
