Subject: [PATCH rcu 0/5] smp_call_function() torture-test updates for v5.16

Hello!

This series contains in-kernel torture-test updates for smp_call_function()
and friends, AKA scftorture.

1.	Allow zero weight to exclude an smp_call_function*() category.

2.	Shut down if nonsensical arguments given.

3.	Account for weight_resched when checking for all zeroes.

4.	Count reschedule IPIs.

5.	Warn on individual scf_torture_init() error conditions.

						Thanx, Paul
