rcutorture: Avoid corner-case #DE with nsynctypes check

The rcutorture module is used to run torture tests that validate RCU.
rcutorture takes a variety of module parameters that configure the
functionality of the test. Amongst these parameters are the types of
synchronization mechanisms that the rcu_torture_writer and
rcu_torture_fakewriter tasks may use, and the torture_type of the run which
determines what read and sync operations are used by the various writer and
reader tasks that run throughout the test.

When the module is configured to only use sync types for which the
specified torture_type does not implement the necessary operations, we can
end up in a state where nsynctypes is 0. This is not an erroneous state,
but it currently crashes the kernel with a #DE due to nsynctypes being used
with a modulo operator in rcu_torture_fakewriter().

Here is an example of such a #DE:

$ insmod ./rcutorture.ko gp_cond=1 gp_cond_exp=0 gp_exp=0 gp_poll_exp=0
gp_normal=0 gp_poll=0 gp_poll_exp=0 verbose=9999 torture_type=trivial

The solution is to gracefully handle the case of nsynctypes being 0 in
rcu_torture_fakewriter() by not performing any work. This is already being
done in rcu_torture_writer(), though there is a missing return on that path
which will be fixed in a subsequent patch.
