This is very annoying:

...
torture tests for RCU (RCU_TORTURE_TEST) [N/m/y/?] n
How much to slow down RCU grace-period initialization
(RCU_TORTURE_TEST_SLOW_INIT_DELAY) [3] (NEW)
...

please make things like this pointless value depend on the option that
makes them relevant! So a simple

depends on RCU_TORTURE_TEST_SLOW_INIT

would seem to be called for.

It's not like we don't already have annoying and unanswerable
questions for RCU (RCU_KTHREAD_PRIO), let's not add the completely
stupid *pointless* ones too.
