rcu/rcuscale: Stop kfree_scale_thread thread(s) after unloading rcuscale
[ Upstream commit 23fc8df26dead16687ae6eb47b0561a4a832e2f6 ]
Running the 'kfree_rcu_test' test case [1] results in a splat [2].
The root cause is the kfree_scale_thread thread(s) continue running
after unloading the rcuscale module. This commit fixes that isue by
invoking kfree_scale_cleanup() from rcu_scale_cleanup() when removing
the rcuscale module.
[1] modprobe rcuscale kfree_rcu_test=1
// After some time
rmmod rcuscale
rmmod torture
