rcu: Make rcutorture fakewriters invoke rcu_barrier()
The current rcutorture rcu_barrier() testing never intentionally runs more than one instance of rcu_barrier() at a given time. This fails to test the the shiny new concurrency features of rcu_barrier(). This commit therefore modifies the rcutorture fakewriter kthread to randomly invoke rcu_barrier() rather than the usual synchronize_rcu(). Signed-off-by: Paul E.
