Paul E. McKenney d685514260 rcutorture: Allow pointer leaks to test diagnostic code
This commit adds an rcutorture.leakpointer module parameter that
intentionally leaks an RCU-protected pointer out of the RCU read-side
critical section and checks to see if the corresponding grace period
has elapsed, emitting a WARN_ON_ONCE() if so.  This module parameter can
be used to test facilities like CONFIG_RCU_STRICT_GRACE_PERIOD that end
grace periods quickly.

While in the area, also document rcutorture.irqreader, which was
previously left out.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
