[PATCH v2 1/4] tools/perf: Fix perf bench futex to correct usage of affinity for machines with #CPUs > 1K

perf bench futex testcase fails on systems with CPU's
more than 1K.

Testcase: perf bench futex all
Failure snippet:
<<>>Running futex/hash benchmark...

perf: pthread_create: No such file or directory
<<>>

All the futex benchmarks ( ie hash, lock-api, requeue, wake,
wake-parallel ), pthread_create is invoked in respective bench_futex_*
function. Though the logs shows direct failure from pthread_create,
strace logs showed that actual failure is from "sched_setaffinity"
returning EINVAL (invalid argument). This happens because the default
mask size in glibc is 1024. To overcome this 1024 CPUs mask size
limitation of cpu_set_t, change the mask size using the CPU_*_S macros.

Patch addresses this by fixing all the futex benchmarks to use
CPU_ALLOC to allocate cpumask, CPU_ALLOC_SIZE for size, and
CPU_SET_S to set the mask.
