[LTP] [PATCH] fzsync: don't compare spins_avg (float) against 1 (int)

tst_fzsync_pair.spins is increased at least by one on every iteration.
If during all calibration loops, both A and B manage to complete at
nearly same time, then spins is increased only by one.
spins_avg starts as 0, and tst_exp_moving_avg() will move it closer
and closer to 1, but it will never be 1:
float f = 0; int i;
for (i = 0; i < 4096; i++)
f = tst_exp_moving_avg(0.25f, 1, f);
printf("%.15f %d\n", f, f >= 1);
$ 0.999999880790710 0
which on rare occasion can cause: "Can't calculate random delay".
Compare against float slightly smaller than 1.
Also print stats one more time when we hit the warning.
