Hou Tao 0d7202876b locktorture: Invoke percpu_free_rwsem() to do percpu-rwsem cleanup
When executing the LOCK06 locktorture scenario featuring percpu-rwsem,
the RCU callback rcu_sync_func() may still be pending after locktorture
module is removed.  This can in turn lead to the following Oops:

  BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: ffffffffc00eb920
  #PF: supervisor read access in kernel mode

This commit avoids tis problem by adding an exit hook in lock_torture_ops
and using it to call percpu_free_rwsem() for percpu rwsem torture during
the module-cleanup function, thus ensuring that rcu_sync_func() completes
before module exits.

It is also necessary to call the exit hook if lock_torture_init()
fails half-way, so this commit also adds an ->init_called field in
lock_torture_cxt to indicate that exit hook, if present, must be called.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
