Subject: [PATCH 38/91] perf tools: Simplify checking if SMT is active.

From: Konstantin Khlebnikov <khlebnikov@...dex-team.ru>

SMT now could be disabled via "/sys/devices/system/cpu/smt/control".

Status is shown in "/sys/devices/system/cpu/smt/active" simply as "0" / "1".

If this knob isn't here then fallback to checking topology as before.
