tools/power turbostat: Fix trailing '\n' parsing


parse_cpu_string() parses the string input either from command line or
from /sys/fs/cgroup/cpuset.cpus.effective to get a list of CPUs that
turbostat can run with.

The cpu string returned by /sys/fs/cgroup/cpuset.cpus.effective contains
a trailing '\n', but strtoul() fails to treat this as an error.

That says, for the code below
	val = ("\n", NULL, 10);
val returns 0, and errno is also not set.

As a result, CPU0 is erroneously considered as allowed CPU and this
causes failures when turbostat tries to run on CPU0.

 get_counters: Could not migrate to CPU 0
 ...
 turbostat: re-initialized with num_cpus 8, allowed_cpus 5
 get_counters: Could not migrate to CPU 0

Add a check to return immediately if '\n' or '\0' is detected.
