I have changed this to below here [1]. Please let me know if I got it
wrong.

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, 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.
