rcuscale: Console output claims too few grace periods
[ Upstream commit 811192c5f24bfd7246ce9ce06f668d8c408bf39b ]
The rcuscale console output claims N grace periods, numbered from zero
to N, which means that there were really N+1 grace periods. The root
cause of this bug is that rcu_scale_writer() stores the number of the
last grace period (numbered from zero) into writer_n_durations[me]
instead of the number of grace periods. This commit therefore assigns
the actual number of grace periods to writer_n_durations[me], and also
makes the corresponding adjustment to the loop outputting per-grace-period
measurements.
Sample of old console output:
rcu-scale: writer 0 gps: 133
......
rcu-scale: 0 writer-duration: 0 44003961
rcu-scale: 0 writer-duration: 1 32003582
......
rcu-scale: 0 writer-duration: 132 28004391
rcu-scale: 0 writer-duration: 133 27996410
Sample of new console output:
rcu-scale: writer 0 gps: 134
......
rcu-scale: 0 writer-duration: 0 44003961
rcu-scale: 0 writer-duration: 1 32003582
......
rcu-scale: 0 writer-duration: 132 28004391
rcu-scale: 0 writer-duration: 133 27996410
