torture: Handle systems lacking the mpstat command
The rcutorture scripting uses the mpstat command to determine how much the system is being used, and adjusts make's -j argument accordingly. However, mpstat isn't installed by default, so it would be good if the scripting does something useful when mpstat isn't present. This commit therefore makes the scripts assumes that if mpstat is not present, they are free to use all the CPUs. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@kernel.org>
