Subject: [PATCH tip/core/rcu 1/6] rcutorture: Better bounds checking for n_barrier_cbs

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

A negative value for rcutorture.n_barrier_cbs can pass a negative value
to the memory allocator, so this commit instead causes rcu_barrier()
testing to be disabled in this case.
