rcutorture: Add forward-progress checking for writer
The rcutorture output currently does not distinguish between stalls in the RCU implementation and stalls in the rcu_torture_writer() kthreads. This commit therefore adds some diagnostics to help distinguish between these two conditions, at least for the non-SRCU implementations. (SRCU does not provide evidence of update-side forward progress by design.) Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
