rcu: Don't penalize priority boosting when there is nothing to boost
RCU priority boosting cannot do anything unless there is at least one task blocking the current RCU grace period that was preempted within the RCU read-side critical section that it still resides in. However, the current rcu_torture_boost_failed() code will count this as an RCU priority-boosting failure if there were no CPUs blocking the current grace period. This situation can happen (for example) if the last CPU blocking the current grace period was subjected to vCPU preemption, which is always a risk for rcutorture guest OSes. This commit therefore causes rcu_torture_boost_failed() to refrain from reporting failure unless there is at least one task blocking the current RCU grace period that was preempted within the RCU read-side critical section that it still resides in.
