Make sense to me :)

Subject: [PATCH v2 1/1] rcuscale: add kfree_rcu() single-argument scale test

To stress and test a single argument of kfree_rcu() call, we
should to have a special coverage for it. We used to have it
in the test-suite related to vmalloc stressing. The reason is
the rcuscale is a correct place for RCU related things.

Therefore introduce two torture_param() variables, one is for
single-argument scale test and another one for double-argument
scale test.

By default kfree_rcu_test_single and kfree_rcu_test_double are
initialized to false. If both have the same value (false or true)
both are tested in one run, otherwise only the one with value
true is tested. The value of this is that it allows testing of
both options with one test.
