Subject: [PATCH 3/3] lparstat: Fix offline threads uninitialized entries

When some threads are offline, lparstat -E is failing like that:

$ ppc64_cpu --info # CPU 20 is offline
Core   0:    0*    1*    2*    3*    4*    5*    6*    7*
Core   1:    8*    9*   10*   11*   12*   13*   14*   15*
Core   2:   16*   17*   18*   19*   20    21*   22*   23*
Core   3:   24*   25*   26*   27*   28*   29*   30*   31*
Core   4:   32*   33*   34*   35*   36*   37*   38*   39*
Core   5:   40*   41*   42*   43*   44*   45*   46*   47*
$ lparstat -E
Failed to read /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/spurr

The message is complaining about CPU0 but the real issue is that in
parse_sysfs_values() the test cpu_sysfs_fds[i].spurr >= 0 is valid even if
the entry has not been initialized (cpu_sysfs_fds is alloc cleared). So
if the number of threads online seen in assign_cpu_sysfs_fds is lower than
threads_in_system, the loop in parse_sysfs_values() will read uninitialized
entry, where .cpu=0.

To prevent that, unset entries in the cpu_sysfs_fds should have the spurr
fd set to -1.
