If the cpu/present file is not available, we assume that the kernel
is too old to support non-consecutive CPU ids and return a bitmap
with all the bits set to represent this fact. This assumption is
already exploited in nodeGetCPUCount().

This means users of this API can expect the information to always
be available unless an error has occurred, and no longer need to
treat the NULL return value as a special case.

The error message has been updated as well.
