rcutorture: Split out beginning and end from rcu_torture_one_read()

Browse source

The rcu_torture_one_read() function is designed for RCU readers that are
confined to a task, such that a single thread of control extends from the
beginning of a given RCU read-side critical section to its end.  This does
not suffice for things like srcu_down_read() and srcu_up_read(), where
the critical section might start at task level and end in a timer handler.

This commit therefore creates separate init_rcu_torture_one_read_state(),
rcu_torture_one_read_start(), and rcu_torture_one_read_end() functions,
along with a rcu_torture_one_read_state structure to coordinate their
actions.  These will be used to create tests for srcu_down_read()
and friends.

One caution:  The caller to rcu_torture_one_read_start() must enter the
initial read-side critical section prior to the call.  This enables use
of non-standard primitives such as srcu_down_read() while still using
the same validation code.
