[PATCH RFC v2 06/24] hazptrtorture: Enable system-independent CPU overcommit

["Paul E. McKenney" <paulmck@kernel.org>]

This commit interprets negative values of the nreaders module parameter
as a number of readers per CPU, so that hazptrtorture.nreaders=-5 would
spawn five hazard-pointer reader kthreads per CPU.  As CPUs go offline,
a number of readers determined by the overcommit are idled, so that
again when hazptrtorture.nreaders=-5, five readers would be idled for
each offline CPU.
