rcu: Eliminate rcu_gp_slow_unregister() false positive
When using rcutorture as a module, there are a number of conditions that can abort the modprobe operation, for example, when attempting to run both RCU CPU stall warning tests and forward-progress tests. This can cause rcu_torture_cleanup() to be invoked on the unwind path out of rcu_rcu_torture_init(), which will mean that rcu_gp_slow_unregister() is invoked without a matching rcu_gp_slow_register(). This will cause a splat because rcu_gp_slow_unregister() is passed rcu_fwd_cb_nodelay, which does not match a NULL pointer. This commit therefore forgives a mismatch involving a NULL pointer, thus avoiding this false-positive splat. Signed-off-by: Paul E.
