    rcutorture: Don't wait for kernel when all builds fail · 85ef2bd2
    Paul E. McKenney authored
    Currently, rcutorture groups runs in batches, building each scenario in
    a given batch, then invoking qemu to run all the kernels in the batch.
    Of course, if a given scenario's kernel fails to build, there is no qemu
    run for that scenario.  And if all of the kernels in a given batch fail
    to build, there are no runs, and rcutorture immediately starts on the
    next batch.
    
    But not if --jitter has been specified, which it is by default.  In this
    case, the jitter scripts are started unconditionally, and rcutorture
    waits for them to complete, even though there are no kernels to run.
    
    This commit therefore checks for this situation, and refuses to start
    jitter unless at least one of the kernels in the batch built successfully.
    This saves substantial time when all scenarios' kernels fail to build,
    particularly if a long --duration was specified.
