[PATCH AUTOSEL 4.19] rcutorture: Fix rcu_torture_one_read() pipe_count overflow comment

[ Upstream commit 8b9b443fa860276822b25057cb3ff3b28734dec0 ]
The "pipe_count > RCU_TORTURE_PIPE_LEN" check has a comment saying "Should
not happen, but...". This is only true when testing an RCU whose grace
periods are always long enough. This commit therefore fixes this comment.
