Yes, it works, but what you are doing is to revert commit a36a99618b1adb2d6ca0b7e08e3a656a04e477fe

    locktorture: Fix module unwind when bad torture_type specified

    The locktorture module has a list of torture types, and specifying
    a type not on this list is supposed to cleanly fail the module load.
    Unfortunately, the "fail" happens without the "cleanly".  This commit
    therefore adds the needed clean-up after an incorrect torture_type.


If we revert it, the cleanup is not completely after insmod lockture with bad torture_type,
we can't insmod lockture with correct argument anymore, we will get following print,

-bash-4.3# insmod locktorture.ko torture_type=mutex

And what Paul wanted is something that would print the full statistics
at the end regardless of the periodic statistics.

I prefer my version 2, here is some log with my patch v2, it is keep consistent
with rcutorture.
