Subject: [PATCH tip/core/rcu 33/45] rcutorture: Check for rcu_torture_fqs creation errors

From: "Paul E. McKenney" <paulmck@...ux.vnet.ibm.com>

The return value from torture_create_kthread() is currently ignored
when creating the rcu_torture_fqs kthread.  This commit therefore
captures the return value so that it can be tested for errors.
