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.

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
by the --duration argument. This commit therefore forces an immediate
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
to clearly indicate the presence of an error.

This commit further avoids conflation of rcuperf with the kernel's perf
feature by renaming kernel/rcu/rcuperf.c to kernel/rcu/rcuscale.c, and
also by similarly renaming the functions and variables inside this file.
This has the side effect of changing the names of the kernel boot
parameters, so kernel-parameters.txt and ver_functions.sh are also
updated. The rcutorture --torture type was also updated from rcuperf
to rcuscale.
