tools lib api fs: Use base 0 in filename__read_ull

By using 0 for base, the strtoull() detects the base automatically (see
'man strtoull').

ATM we have just one user of this function, the cpu__get_max_freq
function reading the "cpuinfo_max_freq" sysfs file. It should not get
affected by this change.

Committer note:

This change seems motivated by this discussion:

"[PATCH] [RFC V1]s390/perf: fix 'start' address of module's map"
http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20160711120155.GA29929@krava

I.e. this patches paves the way for filename__read_ull() to be used in a
S/390 related fix.
