    rcutorture: Fix cleanup path for invalid torture_type strings · b813afae
    Paul E. McKenney authored
    If the specified rcutorture.torture_type is not in the rcu_torture_init()
    function's torture_ops[] array, rcutorture prints some console messages
    and then invokes rcu_torture_cleanup() to set state so that a future
    torture test can run.  However, rcu_torture_cleanup() also attempts to
    end the test that didn't actually start, and in doing so relies on the
    value of cur_ops, a value that is not particularly relevant in this case.
    This can result in confusing output or even follow-on failures due to
    attempts to use facilities that have not been properly initialized.
    
    This commit therefore sets the value of cur_ops to NULL in this case
    and inserts a check near the beginning of rcu_torture_cleanup(),
    thus avoiding relying on an irrelevant cur_ops value.
