refscale: Ditch ref_scale_shutdown in favor of torture_shutdown_init()
The torture_shutdown_init() function spawns a shutdown kthread in a manner very similar to that implemented by ref_scale_shutdown(). This commit therefore re-implements ref_scale_shutdown in terms of torture_shutdown_init(). The initial draft of this patch was generated by version 2.1.16 of the Claude AI/LLM, but trained and configured for use by my employer, and prompted to refer to Linux-kernel source code. This initial draft failed to provide a forward reference to ref_scale_cleanup(), passed zero to torture_shutdown_init() for an unwelcome insta-shutdown, and failed to pass the kvm.sh --duration argument in as a refscale module parameter. On the other hand, it did catch the need to NULL main_task on the post-test self-shutdown code path, which I might well have forgotten to do. This version of the patch fixes those problems, and in fact very little of the initial draft remains. Signed-off-by: Paul E.
