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>

+Driver implementer's API guide
+==============================
+
+The kernel offers a wide variety of interfaces to support the development
+of device drivers. This document is an only somewhat organized collection
+of some of those interfaces — it will hopefully get better over time! The
+available subsections can be seen below.
+
+
+General information for driver authors
+======================================
+
+This section contains documentation that should, at some point or other, be
+of interest to most developers working on device drivers.
