[PATCH] rcutorture: Avoid problematic critical section nesting on RT

[Sebastian Andrzej Siewior <bigeasy@linutronix.de>]

From: Scott Wood <swood@redhat.com>

rcutorture was generating some nesting scenarios that are not
reasonable.  Constrain the state selection to avoid them.

Example:

1. rcu_read_lock()
2. local_irq_disable()
3. rcu_read_unlock()
4. local_irq_enable()

If the thread is preempted between steps 1 and 2,
rcu_read_unlock_special.b.blocked will be set, but it won't be
acted on in step 3 because IRQs are disabled.  Thus, reporting of the
quiescent state will be delayed beyond the local_irq_enable().

For now, these scenarios will continue to be tested on non-PREEMPT_RT
kernels, until debug checks are added to ensure that they are not
happening elsewhere.

[bigeasy: remove 'preempt_disable(); local_bh_disable(); preempt_enable();
 local_bh_enable();' from the examples because this works on RT now. ]

I folded Valentin's bits.
I removed the unbalanced preempt_disable()/migrate_disable() part from
the description because it is supported now by the migrate disable
implementation. I didn't find it explicit in code/ patch except as part
of local_bh_disable().
