rcu: Rename jiffies_till_flush to jiffies_lazy_flush

The variable name jiffies_till_flush is too generic and therefore:

* It may shadow a global variable
* It doesn't tell on what it operates

Make the name more precise, along with the related APIs.

rcuscale: Move rcu_scale_writer() schedule_timeout_uninterruptible() to _idle()

The rcuscale.holdoff module parameter can be used to delay the start
of rcu_scale_writer() kthread. However, the hung-task timeout will
trigger when the timeout specified by rcuscale.holdoff is greater than
hung_task_timeout_secs:

rcuscale: fix building with RCU_TINY

Both the CONFIG_TASKS_RCU and CONFIG_TASKS_RUDE_RCU options
are broken when RCU_TINY is enabled as well, as some functions
are missing a declaration.

Also, building with CONFIG_TASKS_RUDE_RCU but not CONFIG_TASKS_RCU is
broken because of some missing stub functions:

Move the declarations outside of the RCU_TINY #ifdef and duplicate the
shared stub functions to address all of the above.

rcuscale: Add minruntime module parameter

By default, rcuscale collects only 100 points of data per writer, but
arranging for all kthreads to be actively collecting (if not recording)
data during the time that any kthread might be recording. This works
well, but does not allow much time to bring external performance tools
to bear. This commit therefore adds a minruntime module parameter
that specifies a minimum data-collection interval in seconds.

rcuscale: Move shutdown from wait_event() to wait_event_idle()

The rcu_scale_shutdown() and kfree_scale_shutdown() kthreads/functions
use wait_event() to wait for the rcuscale test to complete. However,
each updater thread in such a test waits for at least 100 grace periods.
If each grace period takes more than 1.2 seconds, which is long, but
not insanely so, this can trigger the hung-task timeout.

This commit therefore replaces those wait_event() calls with calls to
wait_event_idle(), which do not trigger the hung-task timeout.

The problem is that the rcu_scale_writer() kthreads fail to set the
PF_NO_SETAFFINITY flags, which causes is_percpu_thread() to assume
that the kthread's affinity might change at any time, thus the BUG

rcuscale: Console output claims too few grace periods

The rcuscale console output claims N grace periods, numbered from zero
to N, which means that there were really N+1 grace periods. The root
cause of this bug is that rcu_scale_writer() stores the number of the
last grace period (numbered from zero) into writer_n_durations[me]
instead of the number of grace periods. This commit therefore assigns
the actual number of grace periods to writer_n_durations[me], and also
makes the corresponding adjustment to the loop outputting per-grace-period
measurements.

Sample of old console output:
rcu-scale: writer 0 gps: 133

The single-argument variant of kfree_rcu() is currently not
tested by any member of the rcutoture test suite. This
commit therefore adds rcuscale code to test it. This
testing is controlled by two new boolean module parameters,
kfree_rcu_test_single and kfree_rcu_test_double. If one
is set and the other not, only the corresponding variant
is tested, otherwise both are tested, with the variant to
be tested determined randomly on each invocation.

Both of these module parameters are initialized to false,
so setting either to true will test only that variant.

rcuscale: Prevent hangs for invalid arguments

If an rcuscale torture-test run is given a bad kvm.sh argument, the
test will complain to the console, which is good. What is bad is that
from the user's perspective, it will just hang for the time specified

kernel shutdown if a rcu_scale_init()-time error occurs, thus avoiding
the appearance of a hang. It also forces a console splat in this case
