Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL for 4.14 81/84] locking/locktorture: Fix num
 reader/writer corner cases

From: Davidlohr Bueso <dave@...olabs.net>

[ Upstream commit 2ce77d16db4240dd2e422fc0a5c26d3e2ec03446 ]

Things can explode for locktorture if the user does combinations
of nwriters_stress=0 nreaders_stress=0. Fix this by not assuming
we always want to torture writer threads.
