rcutorture: Dispense with Dracut for initrd creation



The dracut scripting does not work on all platforms, and there are no
known failures from the init binary based on the statically linked C
program.  This commit therefore removes the dracut scripting so that the
statically linked C program is always used to create the init "script".

# Run in userspace a few milliseconds every second.  This helps to
# exercise the NO_HZ_FULL portions of RCU.  The 192 instances of "a" was
# empirically shown to give a nice multi-millisecond burst of user-mode
# execution on a 2GHz CPU, as desired.  Modern CPUs will vary from a
# couple of milliseconds up to perhaps 100 milliseconds, which is an
# acceptable range.
#
# Why not calibrate an exact delay?  Because within this initrd, we
# are restricted to Bourne-shell builtins, which as far as I know do not
# provide any means of obtaining a fine-grained timestamp.
