72ce30dd1f rcu: Stop testing RCU-bh and RCU-sched
Now that the RCU-bh and RCU-sched update-side functions are simple
wrappers around their RCU counterparts, there isn't a whole lot of
point in testing them.  This commit therefore removes the self-test
capability and removes the corresponding kernel-boot parameters.
It also updates the various rcutorture .boot files to remove the
kernel boot parameters that call for testing RCU-bh and RCU-sched.

f13bad9042 rcutorture: Test both RCU-sched and RCU-bh for Tiny RCU
Tiny RCU supports both RCU-sched and RCU-bh, but only RCU-sched is
currently tested by the rcutorture scripts.  This commit therefore
changes the TINY02 configuration to test RCU-bh, with TINY01 continuing
to test RCU-sched.

This shortcoming of the current rcutorture tests was located by mutation
testing by Iftekhar.  The idea behind mutation testing is to automatically
mutate the code under test.  If a given mutant is not caught by testing,
this is a hint that the testing might need to be improved, as was the
case here.  Note that this is only a hint because it is possible to mutate
the code into something else that still works.  For example, a mutation
that removes (say) a WARN_ON() will not normally result in a test failure.

This change resulted in the test failure caused by list mishandling,
which is fixed by the next commit.
