[PATCH v8 05/13] rcuscale: Add laziness and kfree tests

[Joel Fernandes (Google)]

We add 2 tests to rcuscale, first one is a startup test to check whether
we are not too lazy or too hard working. Two, emulate kfree_rcu() itself
to use call_rcu() and check memory pressure. In my testing, the new
call_rcu() does well to keep memory pressure under control, similar
to kfree_rcu().
