The test has the initialization step during which threads are
created. To prevent the workers from starting prematurely a write
lock was previously used by the main setup thread, while each
worker would block on a read lock.

Replace this RWSEM based synchronization with a simpler SRCU
based approach. Which does two basic steps:

- Main thread wraps the setup phase in an SRCU read-side
  critical section. Pair of srcu_read_lock()/srcu_read_unlock().
- Each worker calls synchronize_srcu() on entry, ensuring
  it waits for the initialization phase to be completed.

This patch eliminates the need for down_read()/up_read() and
down_write()/up_write() pairs thus simplifying the logic and
improving clarity.
