From: Grzegorz Jaszczyk <jaszczyk@google.com>
In setup(), the test assumes that all secondary CPUs (cpu1..cpuN-1)
expose '/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu<N>/online' and attempts to read
their status using SAFE_FILE_SCANF().
However, on systems where CPU hotplugging is disabled (e.g. kernels
built without CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU or platforms where CPUs are not
hotpluggable), the per-CPU 'online' sysfs attributes are not created.
Calling SAFE_FILE_SCANF() on a non-existent file results in ENOENT
and breaks test setup with TBROK.
Check for the existence of the per-CPU 'online' file with access()
first. If the file exists, read the status via SAFE_FILE_SCANF(); if
it does not exist, assume the CPU is not hotpluggable and is
permanently online.
