scftorture: Count single_rpc offline failures in statistics outputgrafted
scf_torture_stats_print() aggregates each invoker thread's counters into a local scf_statistics structure before printing, but the n_single_rpc_ofl field is missing from the aggregation loop. As a result, the "single_rpc_ofl" value printed in the statistics line is always zero, even when smp_call_function_single() invocations for the RPC test have failed due to offline CPUs and been counted by the invoker threads. Add the missing accumulation so that the printed value reflects the actual counts. Signed-off-by: Joel Fernandes <joelagnelf@nvidia.com> Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@kernel.org>

+What: /sys/devices/system/machinecheck/machinecheckX/tolerant
+Contact: Borislav Petkov <bp@suse.de>
+Date: Dec, 2021
+Description:
+ Unused and obsolete after the advent of recoverable machine
+ checks (see last sentence below) and those are present since
+ 2010 (Nehalem).
+
+ Original description:
+
+ The entries appear for each CPU, but they are truly shared
+ between all CPUs.
+
+ Tolerance level. When a machine check exception occurs for a
+ non corrected machine check the kernel can take different
+ actions.
+
+ Since machine check exceptions can happen any time it is
+ sometimes risky for the kernel to kill a process because it
+ defies normal kernel locking rules. The tolerance level
+ configures how hard the kernel tries to recover even at some
+ risk of deadlock. Higher tolerant values trade potentially
+ better uptime with the risk of a crash or even corruption
+ (for tolerant >= 3).
+
+ == ===========================================================
+ 0 always panic on uncorrected errors, log corrected errors
+ 1 panic or SIGBUS on uncorrected errors, log corrected errors
+ 2 SIGBUS or log uncorrected errors, log corrected errors
+ 3 never panic or SIGBUS, log all errors (for testing only)
+ == ===========================================================
+
+ Default: 1
+
+ Note this only makes a difference if the CPU allows recovery
+ from a machine check exception. Current x86 CPUs generally
+ do not.
