Great addition to RCU self-testing!

This needs to be within the individual functions, because otherwise the
lists get messed up when you to multiple tests during the same boot...

This looked like a great idea at first, but unfortunately call_srcu()
invokes queue_delayed_work(), which breaks horribly this early in boot.
Either this test has to be removed, or call_srcu() has to be updated
to handle early-boot invocation. Given that no one is using call_srcu()
during early boot, it is probably best to just drop the test.
(In case you were wondering, TEST06 dies during boot.)
Could you please send an updated patch?
