  The use of sched_getaffinity on get_nproc and
sysconf (_SC_NPROCESSORS_ONLN) done in 903bc7dcc2acafc40 (BZ #27645)
breaks the top command in common hypervisor configurations and also
other monitoring tools.

This patchset revert to previous strategy to obtain the system-wide
information first from sysfs, and then on procfs as a fallback.

The sched_getaffinity is still used on malloc code since it makes more
sense to get the per-process value to tune the maximum arena value.

---
Changes in v2:
 - Added tst-sched_getaffinity.c
 - Use enum for cpu_bits_size
 - Comments cleanup

Adhemerval Zanella (3):
  misc: Add __get_nprocs_sched
  linux: Simplify get_nprocs
  linux: Revert the use of sched_getaffinity on get_nproc (BZ #28310)
