commit dd47cbdcc2f72ba3df1248fb7fe210acca18d09c

    rcutorture: Fix rcu_fwd_mutex deadlock
    
    The rcu_torture_fwd_cb_hist() function acquires rcu_fwd_mutex, but is
    invoked from rcutorture_oom_notify() function, which hold this same
    mutex across this call.  This commit fixes the resulting deadlock.
