As long as we are bikeshedding the name... How about refscale.c and
RCU_REF_SCALE_TEST on the one hand and rcuscale.c and RCU_SCALE_TEST on
the other? That keeps the names reasonably short and does not allude
to perf at all.

I am still modifying refperf/refscale/refwhatever, so I will update
that one.
Thanx, Paul
