rcu: Remove CONFIG_RCU_CPU_STALL_INFO

The CONFIG_RCU_CPU_STALL_INFO has been default-y for a couple of
releases with no complaints, so it is time to eliminate this Kconfig
option entirely, so that the long-form RCU CPU stall warnings cannot
be disabled. This commit does just that.

rcutorture: Update TREE_RCU-kconfig.txt

This commit updates TREE_RCU-kconfig.txt to reflect changes in RCU's
Kconfig setup. This commit also updates rcutorture's Kconfig fragments
to account for Kconfig parameters that are now driven directly off of
other Kconfig parameters.

The #CHECK# prefix tells the rcutorture scripts to take no action to try
to set the Kconfig parameter, but to check that it does in fact get set.
This is useful for verifying that Kconfig parameters that are supposed
to be automatically set do in fact get set to the required values.

rcutorture: Make rcutorture scripts force RCU_EXPERT

This commit causes the rcutorture scripts to force RCU_EXPERT so that
these scripts can cause rcutorture to torture RCU in the various required
configurations. However, SRCU-P, TASKS03, and TREE09 retain !RCU_EXPERT
in order to ensure testing of the vanilla configuration.

Given that the combination of PREEMPT_RCU and HOTPLUG_CPU is producing the

geometries so that the test exercising PREEMPT_RCU and HOTPLUG_CPU has
three-level rather than two-level rcu_node trees.

rcu: Remove CONFIG_RCU_CPU_STALL_VERBOSE

The CONFIG_RCU_CPU_STALL_VERBOSE Kconfig parameter causes preemptible
RCU's CPU stall warnings to dump out any preempted tasks that are blocking
the current RCU grace period. This information is useful, and the default
has been CONFIG_RCU_CPU_STALL_VERBOSE=y for some years. It is therefore
time for this commit to remove this Kconfig parameter, so that future
kernel builds will always act as if CONFIG_RCU_CPU_STALL_VERBOSE=y.

rcutorture: Introduce "rcu" directory level underneath configs

This commit uses the standard software ploy of introducing another
level of indirection below the configs directory. This allows each
torture-test suite to have its own set of Kconfig files, boot parameters,
and version-specific scripts. Initially, we have only rcu, but lock
will follow soonish.
