This test on vanilla Linux kernel prior 4.2-rc1 can trigger kernel panic 
(when running rw_lock_irq test-case).

Here is the fix in upstream:

commit f548d99ef4f5ec8f7080e88ad07c44d16d058ddc
Author: Alexey Kodanev <alexey.kodanev@oracle.com>
Date:   Sat Mar 7 03:06:53 2015 +0300

     locktorture: fix deadlock in 'rw_lock_irq' type

     torture_rwlock_read_unlock_irq() must use read_unlock_irqrestore()
     instead of write_unlock_irqrestore().


Thanks,
Alexey
