[PATCH RFC v2 09/24] hazptrtorture: Split hazptr_torture_reader_tail() from hazptr_torture_reader()

Message-ID <[email protected]>
This commit splits a new hazptr_torture_reader_tail() function out
of hazptr_torture_reader().  This will allow hazptr_torture_reader()
to pass hazard pointers off to other tasks and to various types of
handlers, and those hazard pointers can in turn be passed to this new
hazptr_torture_reader_tail() function to complete processing.
