Subject: [PATCH tip/core/rcu 6/9] rcutorture: Separate warnings for each failure type

From: "Paul E. McKenney" <paulmck@...ux.ibm.com>

Currently, each of six different types of failure triggers a
single WARN_ON_ONCE(), and it is then necessary to stare at the
rcu_torture_stats(), Reader Pipe, and Reader Batch lines looking for
inappropriately non-zero values.  This can be annoying and error-prone,
so this commit provides a separate WARN_ON_ONCE() for each of the
six error conditions and adds short comments to each to ease error
identification.
