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.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
