Subject: [PATCH v2] locktorture: Fix NULL pointer when torture_type is invalid

Insmod locktorture with torture_type=mutex will lead to crash,

Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000008

Fix it by check statp in __torture_print_stats(), if it is NULL, just
create a lock-torture-statistics message with zero statistic argument.
