If an refscale torture-test run is given a bad kvm.sh argument, the
test will complain to the console, which is good. What is bad is that
from the user's perspective, it will just hang for the time specified
by the --duration argument. This commit therefore forces an immediate
kernel shutdown if a ref_scale_init()-time error occurs, thus avoiding
the appearance of a hang. It also forces a console splat in this case
to clearly indicate the presence of an error.

The default value for refscale.nreaders is -1, which results in the code
setting the value to three-quarters of the number of CPUs. On single-CPU
systems, this results in three-quarters of the value one, which the C
language's integer arithmetic rounds to zero. This in turn results in
a divide-by-zero error.
This commit therefore adds bounds checking to the refscale module
parameters, so that if they are less than one, they are set to the
value one.

Currently in the unlikely event that buf fails to be allocated it
is dereferenced a few times. Use the errexit flag to determine if
buf should be written to to avoid the null pointer dereferences.

This commit further avoids conflation of refperf with the kernel's perf
feature by renaming kernel/rcu/refperf.c to kernel/rcu/refscale.c,
and also by similarly renaming the functions and variables inside
this file. This has the side effect of changing the names of the
kernel boot parameters, so kernel-parameters.txt and ver_functions.sh
are also updated.
The rcutorture --torture type remains refperf, and this will be
addressed in a separate commit.
