Ah, like this, then.

commit 55d4929acdc66f00f27d79bfe273eeda01ec899f

    rcutorture: Remove redundant initialization to zero
    
    The current code initializes the global per-CPU variables
    rcu_torture_count and rcu_torture_batch to zero.  However, C does this
    initialization by default, and explicit initialization of per-CPU
    variables now needs a different syntax if "make tags" is to work.
    This commit therefore removes the initialization.
