rcutorture: Affinity forward-progress test to avoid housekeeping CPUs
This commit affinities the forward-progress tests to avoid hogging a housekeeping CPU on the theory that the offloaded callbacks will be running on those housekeeping CPUs. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.ibm.com> [ paulmck: Fix NULL-pointer issue located by kbuild test robot. ] Tested-by: Rong Chen <rong.a.chen@intel.com>
