Subject: [PATCH tip/core/rcu 5/7] torture: Trace long read-side delays

Although rcutorture will occasionally do a 50-millisecond grace-period
delay, these delays are quite rare.  And rightly so, because otherwise
the read rate would be quite low.  Thie means that it can be important
to identify whether or not a given run contained a long-delay read.
This commit therefore inserts a trace_rcu_torture_read() event to flag
runs containing long delays.
