Subject: [PATCH v4 tip/core/rcu 35/38] rcu-tasks: Add IPI failure count to statistics

From: "Paul E. McKenney" <paulmck@...nel.org>

This commit adds a failure-return count for smp_call_function_single(),
and adds this to the console messages for rcutorture writer stalls and at
the end of rcutorture testing.
