    tools/power turbostat: fix un-intended affinity of forked program · d15cf7c1

    Linux 3.4 included a modification to turbostat to
    lower cross-call overhead by using scheduler affinity:

    (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.
