[PATCH tip/core/rcu 01/28] refscale: Bounds-check module parameters

[paulmck]

From: "Paul E. McKenney" <paulmck@xxxxxxxxxx>

The default value for refscale.nreaders is -1, which results in the code
setting the value to three-quarters of the number of CPUs.  On single-CPU
systems, this results in three-quarters of the value one, which the C
language's integer arithmetic rounds to zero.  This in turn results in
a divide-by-zero error.

This commit therefore adds bounds checking to the refscale module
parameters, so that if they are less than one, they are set to the
value one.
