[PATCH V2 2/2] tools/perf/tests: Fix session topology test to skip the test in guest environment

[Athira Rajeev]

The session topology test fails in powerpc pSeries platform.
Test logs:
<<>>
Session topology : FAILED!
<<>>

This testcases tests cpu topology by checking the core_id and
socket_id stored in perf_env from perf session. The data from
perf session is compared with the cpu topology information
from "/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/topology" like core_id,
physical_package_id. In case of virtual environment, detail
like physical_package_id is restricted to be exposed. Hence
physical_package_id is set to -1. The testcase fails on such
platforms since socket_id can't be fetched from topology info.

Skip the testcase in powerpc for pSeries. Use the utility
function "cpuinfo_field" to check platform from /proc/cpuinfo.

Results:

 After the patch:
 ----------------
 # ./perf test 41
 41: Session topology                  : Skip
