Subject: [PATCH 2/3] perf bench futex-wake: Restore thread count default to online CPU count

Since commit 3b2323c2c1c4 ("perf bench futex: Use cpumaps") the default
number of threads the benchmark uses got changed from number of online
CPUs to zero:

  $ perf bench futex wake
  # Running 'futex/wake' benchmark:
  Run summary [PID 15930]: blocking on 0 threads (at [private] futex 0x558b8ee4bfac), waking up 1 at a time.
  [Run 1]: Wokeup 0 of 0 threads in 0.0000 ms
  [...]
  [Run 10]: Wokeup 0 of 0 threads in 0.0000 ms
  Wokeup 0 of 0 threads in 0.0004 ms (+-40.82%)

Restore the old behavior by grabbing the number of online CPUs via
cpu->nr:

  $ perf bench futex wake
  # Running 'futex/wake' benchmark:
  Run summary [PID 18356]: blocking on 8 threads (at [private] futex 0xb3e62c), waking up 1 at a time.
  [Run 1]: Wokeup 8 of 8 threads in 0.0260 ms
  [...]
  [Run 10]: Wokeup 8 of 8 threads in 0.0270 ms
  Wokeup 8 of 8 threads in 0.0419 ms (+-24.35%)
