Subject: [PATCH] perf tools: rework of handling lack of sched_getcpu in old glibc

Commit e1e455f4f4d3 ("perf tools: Work around lack of sched_getcpu in
glibc < 2.6.") introduced weak function sched_getcpu() which should
be overridden by sched_getcpu() provided by glibc >= 2.6. Unfortunately,
the weak function was linked to sched_getcpu() used in perf bench numa
and made the benchmark heavily relying on this function unusable.

This patch alternates weak function magic for preprocessor defines.
