Subject: [PATCH v3 2/3] perf: make build_cpu_topology skip offline/absent CPUs

When build_cpu_topo() encounters offline/absent CPUs,
it fails to find any sysfs entries and returns failure.
This leads to build_cpu_topology() and write_cpu_topology()
failing as well.

Because HEADER_CPU_TOPOLOGY has not been written, read leaves
cpu_topology_map NULL and we get NULL ptr deref at:

 ...
  cmd_test
   __cmd_test
    test_and_print
     run_test
      test_session_topology
       check_cpu_topology

Session topology: FAILED!

This patch makes build_cpu_topology() skip offline/absent CPUs,
by checking their presence against cpu_map built from online CPUs.

Changes in v3:
- make ret = -1 by default, so we fail in case build_cpu_topo
  doesn't run at all
