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.
