When a test abort()s before SCLP read info is completed, the assertion on read_info in sclp_read_info() will fail. Since abort() eventually calls smp_teardown() which in turn calls sclp_get_cpu_num(), this will cause an infinite abort() chain, causing the test to hang. Fix this by considering the system single processor when read_info is missing.
