Subject: [PATCH tip/core/rcu 13/55] rcu: Don't destroy rcu_torture_boost() callback until it is done

From: Paul E. McKenney <paul.mckenney@...aro.org>

The rcu_torture_boost() cleanup code destroyed debug-objects state before
waiting for the last RCU callback to be invoked, resulting in rare but
very real debug-objects warnings.  Move the destruction to after the
waiting to fix this problem.
