The torturing_tasks() function is used only in kernels built with
CONFIG_PROVE_RCU=y, so the second definition can result in unused-function
compiler warnings.  This commit adds __maybe_unused to suppress these
warnings.

The rcutorture module has a list of torture types, and specifying a
type not on this list is supposed to cleanly fail the module load.
Unfortunately, the "fail" happens without the "cleanly".  This commit
therefore adds the needed clean-up after an incorrect torture_type.

This commit moves cond_resched_rcu_qs() into stutter_wait(), saving
a line and also avoiding RCU CPU stall warnings from all torture
loops containing a stutter_wait().

We have had the call_rcu_func_t typedef for a quite awhile, but we still
use explicit function pointer types in some places.  These types can
confuse cscope and can be hard to read.  This patch therefore replaces
these types with the call_rcu_func_t typedef.

As we now have rcu_callback_t typedefs as the type of rcu callbacks, we
should use it in call_rcu*() and friends as the type of parameters. This
could save us a few lines of code and make it clear which function
requires an rcu callbacks rather than other callbacks as its argument.

Besides, this can also help cscope to generate a better database for
code reading.

The get_state_synchronize_rcu() and cond_synchronize_rcu() functions
allow polling for grace-period completion, with an actual wait for a
grace period occurring only when cond_synchronize_rcu() is called too
soon after the corresponding get_state_synchronize_rcu().  However,
these functions work only for vanilla RCU.  This commit adds the
get_state_synchronize_sched() and cond_synchronize_sched(), which provide
the same capability for RCU-sched.

Although RCU-tasks isn't really designed to support rcu_dereference()
and list manipulation, that is how rcutorture tests it.  Which means
that lockdep-RCU complains about the rcu_dereference_check() invocations
because RCU-tasks doesn't have read-side markers.  This commit therefore
creates a torturing_tasks() to silence the lockdep-RCU complaints from
rcu_dereference_check() when RCU-tasks is being tortured.

The rcu_torture_cbflood() function correctly checks for flavors of
RCU that lack analogs to call_rcu() and rcu_barrier(), but in that
case it fails to terminate correctly.  In fact, it terminates so
incorrectly that segfaults can result.  This commit therefore causes
rcu_torture_cbflood() to do the proper wait-for-stop procedure.
