when the rcutorture.torture_type value is 'rcu', this is correct for
invoke rcu_barrier() to wait all in-flight call_rcu() callbacks
(rcu_torture_fwd_cb_cr()) complete in rcutorture_oom_notify(). but when
the rcutorture.torture_type value is 'tasks-tracing', invoke rcu_barrier()
won't wait all in-flight call_rcu_tasks_trace() callbacks complete, the
rcu_barrier_tasks_trace() should be invoked.

This commit fix it by using barrier operation corresponding to
rcutorture.torture_type to wait all in-flight rcu_torture_fwd_cb_cr()
complete.

Good catch, thank you!

I have done my usual wordsmithing as shown below.  Could you please
double-check it?

							Thanx, Paul

    rcutorture: Use the barrier operation specified by cur_ops
    
    The rcutorture_oom_notify() function unconditionally invokes
    rcu_barrier(), which is OK when the rcutorture.torture_type value is
    "rcu", but unhelpful otherwise.  The purpose of these barrier calls is to
    wait for all outstanding callback-flooding callbacks to be invoked before
    cleaning up their data.  Using the wrong barrier function therefore
    risks arbitrary memory corruption.  Thus, this commit changes these
    rcu_barrier() calls into cur_ops->cb_barrier() to make things work when
    torturing non-vanilla flavors of RCU.
