rcuscale: Provide clear error when async specified without primitives

[ Upstream commit 11377947b5861fa59bf77c827e1dd7c081842cc9 ]

Currently, if the rcuscale module's async module parameter is specified
for RCU implementations that do not have async primitives such as RCU
Tasks Rude (which now lacks a call_rcu_tasks_rude() function), there
will be a series of splats due to calls to a NULL pointer.  This commit
therefore warns of this situation, but switches to non-async testing.
