Subject: [PATCH 2/3] perf tools: Fix SMT not detected with large core count

sysfs__read_int returns 0 on success, and so the fast read path was
always failing.
strtoull can only read a 64-bit bitmap. On an AMD EPYC core_cpus may look
like:
00000000,00000000,00000000,00000001,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000001
and so the sibling wasn't spotted. Fix by writing a simple hweight string
parser.

Fixes: bb629484d924 (perf tools: Simplify checking if SMT is active.)
