[PATCH v4] rcutorture: Create nocb tasks only for rcu testing and CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU=y kernel

From: Zqiang
Date: Fri Feb 03 2023 - 01:36:40 EST


When setting nocbs_nthreads to start rcutorture test with a non-zero value,
the nocb tasks will be created and invoke rcu_nocb_cpu_offload/deoffload()
to toggle CPU's callback-offload state, but this is meaningless for non-rcu
testing or CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU=n kernel create nocb tasks to periodically
toggle CPU's callback-offload state and adds unnecessary testing overhead.

This commit therefore add checks for cur_ops types and CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU
options when nocbs_nthreads is non-zero to avoid unnecessary nocb task
creation.
