Use of the rcutorture preempt_duration and the default-on fwd_progress
kernel parameters can result in preemption of callback processing during
forward-progress testing, which is an excellent way to OOM your test
if your kernel offloads RCU callbacks.  This commit therefore treats
preempt_duration in the same way as stall_cpu in CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU=y
kernels, prohibiting fwd_progress testing and splatting when rcutorture
is built in (as opposed to being a loadable module).
