The torture_shuffle() function forces each CPU in turn to go idle
periodically in order to check for problems interacting with per-CPU
variables and with dyntick-idle mode. Because this sort of debugging
is not specific to RCU, this commit abstracts that functionality.
This in turn requires abstracting some additional infrastructure.

Because handling races between rmmod and normal shutdown is not specific
to rcutorture, this commit renames rcutorture_shutdown_absorb() to
torture_shutdown_absorb() and pulls it out into then kernel/torture.c
module. This implies pulling the fullstop mechanism into kernel/torture.c
as well.
The exporting of fullstop and fullstop_mutex is ugly and must die.
And it does in fact die in later commits that introduce higher-level
APIs that encapsulate both of these variables.

Because rcu_torture_random() will be used by the locking equivalent to
rcutorture, pull it out into its own module. This new module cannot
be separately configured, instead, use the Kconfig "select" statement
from the Kconfig options of tests depending on it.
