Currently, the kernel boot parameters specified by the kvm.sh --bootargs
parameter are placed near the beginning of the -append list that is
passed to qemu. This means that in the not-uncommon case of a kernel
boot parameter where the last argument wins, the --bootargs list overrides
neither the list in the .boot file nor the additional parameters supplied
by the rcutorture scripting.
This commit therefore places the kernel boot parameters specified by
the kvm.sh --bootargs parameter at the end of qemu's -append list.

It is no longer possible to build a kernel with a preemption-disabled
RCU without use of CONFIG_PREEMPT_DYNAMIC=n. This commit therefore
adds CONFIG_PREEMPT_DYNAMIC=n to the rcuscale torture type's TRACE01
scenario file.

Currently, a CONFIG_PREEMPT_NONE=y kernel substitutes normal RCU for
RCU Tasks Rude and RCU Tasks Trace. Unless that kernel builds rcuscale,
whether built-in or as a module, in which case these RCU Tasks flavors are
(unnecessarily) built in. This both increases kernel size and increases
the complexity of certain tracing operations. This commit therefore
decouples the presence of rcuscale from the presence of RCU Tasks Rude
and RCU Tasks Trace.

All of the rcuscale and refscale scenarios that mention the Kconfig option
CONFIG_RCU_FAST_NO_HZ disable it. But this Kconfig option is disabled by
default, so this commit removes the pointless "CONFIG_RCU_FAST_NO_HZ=n"
lines from these scenarios.

With CONFIG_PREEMPT_DYNAMIC=y, the kernel builds with CONFIG_PREEMPTION=y
because preemption can be enabled at runtime. This prevents any tests
of Tiny RCU or Tiny SRCU from running correctly. This commit therefore
explicitly sets CONFIG_PREEMPT_DYNAMIC=n for those scenarios.

It is no longer possible to disable CPU hotplug in many configurations,
which means that the CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU=n lines in rcuscale's Kconfig
options are just a source of useless diagnostics. In addition, rcuscale
doesn't do CPU-hotplug operations in any case. This commit therefore
changes these lines to read CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU=y.

Given large numbers of threads, the quantity of torture-test output is
sufficient to sometimes result in RCU CPU stall warnings. The probability
of these stall warnings was greatly reduced by batching the output,
but the warnings were not eliminated. However, the actual test only
depends on console output that is printed even when rcuscale.verbose=0.
This commit therefore causes this test to run with rcuscale.verbose=0.

This commit adds the ability to test performance and scalability of RCU
Tasks Trace updaters.

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.
