Subject: [PATCH tip/core/rcu 3/6] rcutorture: Bounds-check rcutorture.shuffle_interval

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

Specifying a negative rcutorture.shuffle_interval value will cause a
negative value to be used as a sleep time.  This commit therefore
refuses to start shuffling unless the rcutorture.shuffle_interval
value is greater than zero.
