The rcu_scale_writer() function needs only a fixed number of rcu_head
structures per kthread, which means that a trivial allocator suffices.
This commit therefore uses an llist-based allocator using a fixed array of
structures per kthread. This allows aggressive testing of RCU performance
without stressing the slab allocators.

Under some conditions, kmalloc(GFP_KERNEL) allocations have been
observed to repeatedly fail. This situation has been observed to
cause one of the rcu_scale_writer() instances to loop indefinitely
retrying memory allocation for an asynchronous grace-period primitive.
The problem is that if memory is short, all the other instances will
allocate all available memory before the looping task is awakened from
its rcu_barrier*() call. This in turn results in hangs, so that rcuscale
fails to complete.
This commit therefore removes the tight retry loop, so that when this
condition occurs, the affected task is still passing through the full
loop with its full set of termination checks. This spreads the risk
of indefinite memory-allocation retry failures across all instances of
rcu_scale_writer() tasks, which in turn prevents the hangs.

This commit causes all writer tasks to provide a brief report after a
hang has been reported, spaced at one-second intervals.

Currently, if the rcuscale module's async module parameter is specified
for RCU implementations that do not have async primitives such as RCU
Tasks Rude (which now lacks a call_rcu_tasks_rude() function), there
will be a series of splats due to calls to a NULL pointer. This commit
therefore warns of this situation, but switches to non-async testing.

This commit uses the new rcu_tasks_torture_stats_print(),
rcu_tasks_trace_torture_stats_print(), and
rcu_tasks_rude_torture_stats_print() functions in order to provide
detailed diagnostics on grace-period, callback, and barrier state when
rcu_scale_writer() hangs.

RCU keeps a count of the number of callbacks that the current
rcu_barrier() is waiting on, but there is currently no easy way to
work out which callback is stuck. One way to do this is to mark idle
RCU-barrier callbacks by making the ->next pointer point to the callback
itself, and this commit does just that.
Later commits will use this for debug output.

This commit adds a .stats function pointer to the rcu_scale_ops structure,
and if this is non-NULL, it is invoked after stack traces are dumped in
response to a rcu_scale_writer() stall.

This commit improves debuggability by dumping the stacks of
rcu_scale_writer() instances that have not completed in a reasonable
timeframe. These stacks are dumped remotely, but they will be accurate
in the thus-far common case where the stalled rcu_scale_writer() instances
are blocked.

This whitespace-only commit fuses a few lines of code, taking advantage
of the newish 100-character-per-line limit to save a few lines of code.

process_durations() is not a hot path, but there is no good reason to
iterate over and over the data already in 'buf'.
Using a seq_buf saves some useless strcat() and the need of a temp buffer.
Data is written directly at the correct place.
