Currently, the kernel boot parameters specified by the kvm.sh --bootargs
parameter are placed near the beginning of the -append list that is
passed to qemu. This means that in the not-uncommon case of a kernel
boot parameter where the last argument wins, the --bootargs list overrides
neither the list in the .boot file nor the additional parameters supplied
by the rcutorture scripting.
This commit therefore places the kernel boot parameters specified by
the kvm.sh --bootargs parameter at the end of qemu's -append list.

Given large numbers of threads, the quantity of torture-test output is
sufficient to sometimes result in RCU CPU stall warnings. The probability
of these stall warnings was greatly reduced by batching the output,
but the warnings were not eliminated. However, the actual test only
depends on console output that is printed even when rcuscale.verbose=0.
This commit therefore causes this test to run with rcuscale.verbose=0.

This commit further avoids conflation of rcuperf with the kernel's perf
feature by renaming kernel/rcu/rcuperf.c to kernel/rcu/rcuscale.c, and
also by similarly renaming the functions and variables inside this file.
This has the side effect of changing the names of the kernel boot
parameters, so kernel-parameters.txt and ver_functions.sh are also
updated. The rcutorture --torture type was also updated from rcuperf
to rcuscale.
