rcu: Increase rcutorture test coverage

Currently, rcutorture has separate torture_types to test synchronous,
asynchronous, and expedited grace-period primitives.  This has
two disadvantages: (1) Three times the number of runs to cover the
combinations and (2) Little testing of concurrent combinations of the
three options.  This commit therefore adds a pair of module parameters
that control normal and expedited state, with the default being both
types, randomly selected, by the fakewriter processes, thus reducing
source-code size and increasing test coverage.  In addtion, the writer
task switches between asynchronous-normal and expedited grace-period
primitives driven by the same pair of module parameters.

gp_normal Make the fake writers use normal synchronous grace-period

gp_exp Make the fake writers use expedited synchronous grace-period
primitives. If both gp_normal and gp_exp are set, or
if neither gp_normal nor gp_exp are set, then randomly
choose the primitive so that about 50% are normal and
50% expedited. By default, neither are set, which
gives best overall test coverage.
