Subject: [PATCH 6/7 V3] perf: Add support to dynamically get cacheline size

Different arches may have different cacheline sizes.  Look it up and set
a global variable for reference.

Signed-off-by: Don Zickus <dzickus@...hat.com>

V4: make it super simple using a sysconf (Arnaldo)
V3: remove unneeded cpumap.h (Namhyung Kim)
V2: change to be global and setup in perf.c
    use filename__read_int for setup

revert cacheline size stuff
