Subject: [PATCH -tip 0/9] locktorture: Improve and expand lock torturing

This set includes general updates throughout the locktorture code.
Particularly support for reader locks are added as well as torturing
mutexes and rwsems. With the recent locking changes, it doesn't hurt
to improve our testing infrastructure, and torturing is definitely
one of them. For specific details about each change, please consult
the actual patches.

o patches 1, 4, 9: misc changes.
o patch 2: new doc, based on rcutorture's.
o patches 3, 8: torture new locking primitives.
o patches 5, 7: add support for reader locks.
o patch 6: fix a minor race in the torture cleanup path.

Really no particular order, please consider for v3.18.

  locktorture: Rename locktorture_runnable parameter
  locktorture: Add documentation
  locktorture: Support mutexes
  locktorture: Teach about lock debugging
  locktorture: Make statistics generic
  torture: Address race in module cleanup
