rcu: Convert CONFIG_RCU_FANOUT_EXACT to boot parameter
The CONFIG_RCU_FANOUT_EXACT Kconfig parameter is used primarily (and perhaps only) by rcutorture to verify that RCU works correctly in specific rcu_node combining-tree configurations. It therefore does not make much sense have this as a question to people attempting to configure their kernels. So this commit creates an rcutree.rcu_fanout_exact= boot parameter that rcutorture can use, and eliminates the original CONFIG_RCU_FANOUT_EXACT Kconfig parameter.
