[PATCH tip/core/rcu 13/28] locktorture: Ignore nreaders_stress if no readlock support

From: paulmck
Date: Thu Nov 05 2020 - 18:47:39 EST


From: Hou Tao <houtao1@xxxxxxxxxx>

Exclusive locks do not have readlock support, which means that a
locktorture run with the following module parameters will do nothing:

torture_type=mutex_lock nwriters_stress=0 nreaders_stress=1

This commit therefore rejects this combination for exclusive locks by
returning -EINVAL during module init.
