[PATCH tip/core/rcu 6/6] rcu: Make rcutorture fakewriters invoke rcu_barrier()

[Paul E. McKenney]

From: "Paul E. McKenney" <paul.mckenney@xxxxxxxxxx>

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().
