Subject: [PATCH v2 3/3] rcutorture: Fix rcu_barrier successes counter

From: "Joel Fernandes (Google)" <joel@...lfernandes.org>

rcutorture currently increments both successes and error for barrier
test incase of errors. It should only increment the error counter incase
of errors so make it do so.

Test: Introduced rcu_barrier errors by returning from the barrier
callback without incrementing the callback counter.
