rcuperf: Don't treat gp_exp mis-setting as a WARN
0day found a boot warning triggered in rcu_perf_writer() on !SMP kernel: WARN_ON(rcu_gp_is_normal() && gp_exp); , the root cause of which is trying to measure expedited grace periods(by setting gp_exp to true by default) when all the grace periods are normal(TINY RCU only has normal grace periods). However, such a mis-setting would only result in failing to measure the performance for a specific kind of grace periods, therefore using a WARN_ON to check this is a little overkilling. We could handle this inside rcuperf module via some error messages to tell users about the mis-settings. Therefore this patch removes the WARN_ON in rcu_perf_writer() and handles those checkings in rcu_perf_init() with plain if() code. Moreover, this patch changes the default value of gp_exp to 1) align with rcutorture tests and 2) make the default setting work for all RCU implementations by default. Suggested-by: Paul E.
