Subject: [PATCH] perf kvm: use strtol for walking guestmount directory

Only want to process directories under the guestmnount directory that have a
pid as a name (ie, all digits). Other entries in the guestmount directory
should be ignored.  There is already a check that requires the first character
of each entry to be a digit, but atoi is used to convert the directory name to
a pid. For example if guestmount contains a directory with the name 1foo, atoi
converts it to a pid of 1 and a machine is created with a pid of 1. This is
wrong; this directory really should be ignored. Use strtol to do that.
