    linux: fix accuracy of get_nprocs and get_nprocs_conf [BZ #28865]
    
    get_nprocs() and get_nprocs_conf() use various methods to obtain an
    accurate number of processors.  Re-introduce __get_nprocs_sched() as
    a source of information, and fix the order in which these methods are
    used to return the most accurate information.  The primary source of
    information used in both functions remains unchanged.
    
    This also changes __get_nprocs_sched() error return value from 2 to 0,
    but all its users are already prepared to handle that.
    
    Old fallback order:
      get_nprocs:
        /sys/devices/system/cpu/online -> /proc/stat -> 2
      get_nprocs_conf:
        /sys/devices/system/cpu/ -> /proc/stat -> 2
    
    New fallback order:
      get_nprocs:
        /sys/devices/system/cpu/online -> /proc/stat -> sched_getaffinity -> 2
      get_nprocs_conf:
        /sys/devices/system/cpu/ -> /proc/stat -> sched_getaffinity -> 2
    
    Fixes: 342298278e ("linux: Revert the use of sched_getaffinity on get_nproc")
    Closes: BZ #28865
