torture: Forgive -EBUSY from boottime CPU-hotplug operations
During boot, CPU hotplug is often disabled, for example by PCI probing.
On large systems that take substantial time to boot, this can result
in spurious RCU_HOTPLUG errors. This commit therefore forgives any
boottime -EBUSY CPU-hotplug failures by adjusting counters to pretend
that the corresponding attempt never happened. A non-splat record
of the failed attempt is emitted to the console with the added string
"(-EBUSY forgiven during boot)".
