Given that this section of this file duplicates the rcutorture kernel boot
parameters called out in Documentation/admin-guide/kernel-parameters.txt,
perhaps the best way forward is to instead remove this information from
Documentation/RCU/torture.txt in favor of a reference to the information
(with search string) in Documentation/admin-guide/kernel-parameters.txt.

Thoughts?

Thanx, Paul
