Because I need to decide whether the right fix is to add the
LOCK_TORTURE_RUNNABLE or to remove the RCU_TORTURE_RUNNABLE. ;-)

My kneejerk reaction was the former, but I am leaning towards the latter.
Shrinks the code a bit, gets rid of a Kconfig parameter and only requires
changes in scripts for a few people using rcutorture...

Thanx, Paul
