rcutorture: Test SRCU cleanup code path
The current rcutorture testing does not do any cleanup operations. This works because the srcu_struct is statically allocated, but it does represent a memory leak of the associated dynamically allocated ->per_cpu_ref per-CPU variables. However, rcutorture currently uses a statically allocated srcu_struct, which cannot legally be passed to cleanup_srcu_struct(). Therefore, this commit adds a second form of srcu (called srcud) that dynamically allocates and frees the associated per-CPU variables. This commit also adds a ->cleanup() member to rcu_torture_ops that is invoked at the end of the test, after ->cb_barriers(). This ->cleanup() pointer is NULL for all existing tests, and thus only used for scrud. Finally, the SRCU-P torture-test configuration selects scrud instead of srcu, with SRCU-N continuing to use srcu, thereby testing both static and dynamic srcu_struct structures.
