    tools/libxl: Don't read off the end of tinfo[]
    
    It is very common for BIOSes to advertise more cpus than are actually 
present
    on the system, and mark some of them as offline.  This is what Xen does to
    allow for later CPU hotplug, and what BIOSes common to multiple different
    systems do to to save fully rewriting the MADT in memory.
    
    An excerpt from `xl info` might look like:
    
    ...
    nr_cpus                : 2
    max_cpu_id             : 3
    ...
    
    Which shows 4 CPUs in the MADT, but only 2 online (as this particular box is
    the dual-core rather than the quad-core SKU of its particular brand)
    
    Because of the way Xen exposes this information, a libxl_cputopology array 
is
    bounded by 'nr_cpus', while cpu bitmaps are bounded by 'max_cpu_id + 1'.
    
    The current libxl code has two places which erroneously assume that a
    libxl_cputopology array is as long as the number of bits found in a cpu
    bitmap, and valgrind complains:
    
    ==14961== Invalid read of size 4
