Normal rcutorture checking overestimates grace periods somewhat due to
the fact that there is a delay from a grace-period request until the
start of the corresponding grace period and another delay from the end
of that grace period to notification of the requestor. This means that
rcutorture's detection of RCU bugs is less sensitive than it might be.
It turns out that rcutorture also checks the underlying grace-period
"completed" counter (displayed in Reader Batch output), which in theory
allows rcutorture to do exact checks. In practice, memory misordering
(by both compiler and CPU) can result in false positives. However,
experience on x86 shows that these false positives are quite rare,
occurring less than one time per 1,000 hours of testing. This commit
therefore does the exact checking, giving a warning if any Reader Batch
blows happen, and flagging an error if they happen more often than
once every three hours in long tests.

This commit sets the executable bit on test scripts config2frag.sh
and kvm.sh. Since #!/bin/bash is set in all the scripts, this commit
also drops it from all usage lines because the scripts can now all be
invoked directly.

Some of the scripts encode a default /bin/sh shell. On systems which use
dash as default shell, these scripts fail as they are bash scripts. I
encountered this while testing the sprintf() changes on a Debian system
where dash is the default shell.
This commit changes all such uses to use bash explicitly.

The reaction of kvm-recheck.sh is obscure at best, and easy to miss
completely. This commit therefore prints "BUG: Build failed" in the
summary at the end of a run. This commit also adds the line of dashes
in cases where performance info is not available, and also avoids
printing nonsense diagnostics in cases where some of the normal test
output is not available. In addition, this commit saves off the .config
file even when the build fails.

This commit creates a plug-in to allow kvm-recheck.sh to process
non-rcutorture console output.
