`stress-ng --timeout 0 --vm 1` exits immediately

[1sixth]

The documentation says

A 0 timeout will run stress-ng for ever with no timeout.

So I expect stress-ng --timeout 0 --vm 1 to run forever, but it just exits immediately:

$ stress-ng --version
stress-ng, version 0.16.05 (gcc 12.3.0, x86_64 Linux 6.5.5) 💻🔥
$ stress-ng --timeout 0 --vm 1

# runs forever

This was introduced in 39d337d. Reverting that commit fixes the issue, though I'm not sure if it's the best way to do this.
