[RFC PATCH v2 16/20] rcu: Make RCU dynticks counter size configurable

[Valentin Schneider]

CONTEXT_TRACKING_WORK reduces the size of the dynticks counter to free up
some bits for work deferral. Paul suggested making the actual counter size
configurable for rcutorture to poke at, so do that.

Make it only configurable under RCU_EXPERT. Previous commits have added
build-time checks that ensure a kernel with problematic dynticks counter
width can't be built.
