Currently, if the rcuscale module's async module parameter is specified for RCU implementations that do not have sync primitives such as call_rcu(), there will be a series of splats due to calls to a NULL pointer. This commit therefore warns of this situation, but switches to non-async testing. Signed-off-by: Paul E.
