If a CPU runs throughout the stalled grace period without passing through a quiescent state, RCU priority boosting cannot help. The rcu_torture_boost_failed() function therefore prints a message flagging the first such CPU. However, if the stall was instead due to (for example) RCU's grace-period kthread being starved of CPU, there will be no such CPU, causing rcu_check_boost_fail() to instead pass back -1 through its cpup CPU-pointer parameter.
Therefore, the current message complains about a mythical CPU -1. This commit therefore checks for this situation, and notes that all CPUs have passed through a quiescent state.
