perf sched replay: Fix -r/--repeat command line option for infinity

Currently, the -r/--repeat option accepts values from 0 and complains
for -1. The help section specifies:
-r, --repeat <n>      repeat the workload replay N times (-1: infinite)

The -r -1 option raises an error because replay_repeat is defined as
an unsigned int.

In the current implementation, the workload is repeated n times when
-r <n> is used, except when n is 0.

When -r is set to 0, the workload is also repeated once. This happens
because when -r=0, the run_one_test function is not called. (Note that
mutex unlocking, which is essential for child threads spawned to emulate
the workload, happens in run_one_test.) However, mutex unlocking is
still performed in the destroy_tasks function. Thus, -r=0 results in the
workload running once coincidentally.

To clarify and maintain the existing logic for -r >= 1 (which runs the
workload the specified number of times) and to fix the issue with infinite
runs, make -r=0 perform an infinite run.
