lib/test_vmalloc.c: replace RWSEM to SRCU for setup
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.
