Rollup merge of #116038 - the8472:panic-on-sched_getaffinity-bug, r=cuviper

Fall back to _SC_NPROCESSORS_ONLN if sched_getaffinity returns an empty mask

Followup to #115946
A gentler fix for #115868, one that doesn't panic, [suggested on zulip](https://rust-lang.zulipchat.com/#narrow/stream/259402-t-libs.2Fmeetings/topic/Meeting.202023-09-19/near/391942927)

In that situation - on the buggy kernel versions - a zero-mask means no affinities have been set so `_SC_NPROCESSORS_ONLN` provides the right value.
