rcuperf: Fix cleanup path for invalid perf_type strings
If the specified rcuperf.perf_type is not in the rcu_perf_init() function's perf_ops[] array, rcuperf prints some console messages and then invokes rcu_perf_cleanup() to set state so that a future torture test can run. However, rcu_perf_cleanup() also attempts to end the test that didn't actually start, and in doing so relies on the value of cur_ops, a value that is not particularly relevant in this case. This can result in confusing output or even follow-on failures due to attempts to use facilities that have not been properly initialized. This commit therefore sets the value of cur_ops to NULL in this case and inserts a check near the beginning of rcu_perf_cleanup(), thus avoiding relying on an irrelevant cur_ops value.
