locktorture: NULL cxt.lwsa and cxt.lrsa to allow bad-arg detection

Browse Source 
Currently, lock_torture_cleanup() uses the values of cxt.lwsa and cxt.lrsa
to detect bad parameters that prevented locktorture from initializing,
let alone running.  In this case, lock_torture_cleanup() does no cleanup
aside from invoking torture_cleanup_begin() and torture_cleanup_end(),
as required to permit future torture tests to run.  However, this
heuristic fails if the run with bad parameters was preceded by a previous
run that actually ran:  In this case, both cxt.lwsa and cxt.lrsa will
remain non-zero, which means that the current lock_torture_cleanup()
invocation will be unable to detect the fact that it should skip cleanup,
which can result in charming outcomes such as double frees.

This commit therefore NULLs out both cxt.lwsa and cxt.lrsa at the end
of any run that actually ran.
