The output of each kvm-test-1-run.sh script is placed into a file
whose name parallels that of the build directory. This means that
the kvm-test-1-run.sh output is overwritten by later run. This
commit therefore places the kvm-test-1-run.sh output into the
per-test-case directory in the "res" hierarchy.

It used to be that:
git ls-files "*Kconfig*"
would find all Kconfig files and would only find Kconfig files. This
commit renames TREE_RCU-Kconfig.txt to TREE_RCU-kconfig.txt so that this
is once again true.

This commit uses the standard software ploy of introducing another
level of indirection below the configs directory. This allows each
torture-test suite to have its own set of Kconfig files, boot parameters,
and version-specific scripts. Initially, we have only rcu, but lock
will follow soonish.

The current set of functions in ver_functions.sh have APIs that are
specific to RCU. This commit therefore makes an RCU-independent function
that outputs version-specific boot arguments. This has the benefit that
a test-type-independent call in kvm-test-1-rcu.sh can now handle any type
of test, given a test-type-specific set of files in a configs directory.

Currently, CONFIG_RCU_TORTURE_TEST=y is hardcoded into the
kvm-test-1-rcu.sh script and CONFIG_PRINTK_TIME=y is mentioned in each
and every configs file. This commit creates a CFcommon file for these
two Kconfig parameters, and modifies kvm-test-1-rcu.sh to copy this new
file into the .config file during the build. This change will allow
these scripts to operate on torture types other than just rcutorture.

This commit adds a "(!)" flag after the number of CPUs required by a
given test if that test requires more than the available number of CPUs.
Note that these flags appear only when the number of CPUs is specified
using the --cpus argument. In the absence of a --cpus argument, no
tests are flagged.

Running the standard set of rcutorture tests on 24 CPUs results in
the following sub-optimal schedule:
----start batch----
TREE07 16
----start batch----
TREE08 16
SRCU-P 8
----start batch----
TREE01 8
TREE02 8
TREE03 8
----start batch----
TREE04 8
TREE05 8
TREE06 8
----start batch----
SRCU-N 4
TINY01 1
TINY02 1
TREE09 1
If one of the eight-CPU runs were to be moved into the first batch,
the test suite would complete in four batches rather than five.
This commit therefore uses a greedy algorithm to re-order the test
entries so that the sequential batching will produce an optimal schedule
in this case:
----start batch----
TREE07 16
SRCU-P 8
----start batch----
TREE08 16
TREE01 8
----start batch----
TREE02 8
TREE03 8
TREE04 8
----start batch----
TREE05 8
TREE06 8
SRCU-N 4
TINY01 1
TINY02 1
TREE09 1
Please note that this is still not an optimal bin-packing algorithm,
however, it does produce optimal solutions for most common scenarios.

Actual rcutorture tests take considerable time and machine resources,
so it is inconvenient to actually do an rcutorture run when optimizing
the bin-packing algorithm. This commit therefore adds a --dryrun
argument, which defaults to doing a run, but for which "sched"
says to simply print the run schedule and "script" dumps the script
without running it.

The rcutorture tests run by default range from using one CPU to using
sixteen of them. Therefore, rcutorture testing could be sped up
significantly simply by running the kernels in parallel. Building
them in parallel is not all that helpful: "make -j" is usually a
better bet. So this commit takes a new "--cpus" argument that
specifies how many CPUs rcutorture is permitted to use for its
parallel runs. The default of zero does sequential runs as before.
The bin-packing is minimal, and will be grossly suboptimal for
some configurations. However, powers of two work reasonably well.

Both SRCU-P and SRCU-N specify eight CPUs, which results in four
iterations for a parallel run on 32 CPUs. This commit reduces SRCU-N
to four CPUs (but leaving SRCU-P at eight) to speed up parallel runs,
while maintaining essentially the same test coverage.
