Commit Message
Currently on Linux __get_nprocs_conf first tries to enumerate the
cpus present in the system by iterating on /sys/devices/system/cpuX
directories. This only enumerates the CPUs that are present in
system (but possibly offline), not taking in account possible CPU
that might added in the system through hotplugging.
Linux provides the maximum number of configured cpus on the
/sys/devices/system/cpu file. Although it might present a larger
value of possible active CPUs on some system (where kernel either
get the information from firmaware or is configured at boot time),
the information is what kernel presents to userland.
This also change the returned value of _SC_NPROCESSORS_CONF, which
aligns as the maximum configure cpu in the system.
Checked on x86_64-linux-gnu.

I reviewed the kernel documentation and a tiny part of the kernel
sources, and I think this change is okay.
Reviewed-by: Florian Weimer <fweimer@redhat.com>
(It still does not give you the maximum CPU *index*, but that's okay.)
Thanks,
Florian
