Subject: [PATCH v4 tip/core/rcu 25/38] rcu-tasks: Add grace-period and IPI counts to statistics

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

This commit adds a grace-period count and a count of IPIs sent since
boot, which is printed in response to rcutorture writer stalls and at
the end of rcutorture testing.  These counts will be used to evaluate
various schemes to reduce the number of IPIs sent.
