Good catch, thank you!

Given that loading the rcuscale kernel module automatically pulls in
the rcuscale kernel module, why the "modprobe torture"? Is doing the
modprobes separately like this necessary to reproduce this bug?
If it reproduces without manually loading and unloading the "torture"
kernel module, could you please update the commit log to show that
smaller reproducer?

I do applaud minmimizing the size of the patch, but in this case could you
please pull the kfree_scale_cleanup() function ahead of its first use?
