[PATCH] rcutorture: Fix busted_srcud crash on module unload

Commit e4ed20c1603c ("rcutorture: Exercise DEFINE_STATIC_SRCU_FAST() and
init_srcu_struct_fast()") split SRCU torture initialization into two
helpers: srcu_torture_init(), which now only points srcu_ctlp at the
static srcu_ctl/srcu_ctlf/srcu_ctlfud structures, and the new
srcud_torture_init(), which calls init_srcu_struct(&srcu_ctld) for the
dynamically allocated srcu_ctld.
That commit updated srcud_ops to use srcud_torture_init(), but left
busted_srcud_ops pairing .init = srcu_torture_init (static srcu_ctl) with
.cleanup = srcu_torture_cleanup (which unconditionally calls
cleanup_srcu_struct(&srcu_ctld)). As a result srcu_ctld is never
initialized when running torture_type=busted_srcud, yet it is torn down
at module unload.
cleanup_srcu_struct() then dereferences ssp->srcu_sup, which is still
NULL for the zero-initialized srcu_ctld, and faults on the ->lock field
accessed by raw_spin_lock_irq_rcu_node():
Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address dfff80000000001b
...
el1_abort -> do_translation_fault -> do_bad_area -> die_kernel_fault
(The fault address is the KASAN shadow of NULL + offsetof(srcu_usage,
lock) == 0xd8.)
This is trivially reproducible:
modprobe rcutorture torture_type=busted_srcud
sleep 45
rmmod rcutorture # panic here
Fix it by making busted_srcud_ops initialize the same srcu_ctld that its
cleanup handler tears down, matching srcud_ops.
