Subject: [PATCH tip/core/rcu 07/17] rcutorture: Prepare for asynchronous access to rcu_fwd_startat

Because rcutorture's forward-progress checking will trigger from an
OOM notifier, this notifier will introduce asynchronous concurrent
access to the rcu_fwd_startat variable.  This commit therefore prepares
for this by converting updates to WRITE_ONCE().
