Looks ok.

That said, couldn't that last dummy gp_init_delay variable:

> +#endif /* #else #ifdef CONFIG_RCU_TORTURE_TEST_SLOW_INIT */

be just a

#define gp_init_delay 0

for the non-CONFIG_RCU_TORTURE_TEST_SLOW_INIT case, so that the code
that then does

+ if (gp_init_delay > 0 &&
+ !(rsp->gpnum % (rcu_num_nodes * PER_RCU_NODE_PERIOD)))

would just trivially compile away.

I guess the compiler *might* see a 'static const int' that is never
touched and realize it's always zero, but it's not obvious that will
be the case.
