tools/power turbostat: fix un-intended affinity of forked program
Linux 3.4 included a modification to turbostat to
lower cross-call overhead by using scheduler affinity:
15aaa34654831e98dd76f7738b6c7f5d05a66430
(tools turbostat: reduce measurement overhead due to IPIs)
In the use-case where turbostat forks a child program,
that change had the un-intended side-effect of binding
the child to the last cpu in the system.
This change removed the binding before forking the child.
This is a back-port of a fix already included in turbostat v2.
