[PATCH v2] selftests: powerpc: Fix CPU affinity for child process

On systems with large number of cpus, test fails trying to set
affinity for child process by calling sched_setaffinity() with 
smaller size for cpuset. This patch fixes it by making sure that
the size of allocated cpu set is dependent on the number of CPUs
as reported by get_nprocs().
