Subject: [PATCH rcu 1/9] rcutorture: Dump grace-period state upon rtort_pipe_count incidents

The rtort_pipe_count WARN() indicates that grace periods were unable
to invoke all callbacks during a stutter_wait() interval.  But it is
sometimes helpful to have a bit more information as to why.  This commit
therefore invokes show_rcu_gp_kthreads() immediately before that WARN()
in order to dump out some relevant information.
