qemu: Fix retrieval of maximum number of vCPUs on KVM hosts

Browse Source 
The detection of the maximum number of cpus used incorrect ioctl
argument value. This flaw caused that on kvm hosts this returns always
"160" as the maximum. This is just a recommended maximum value. The real
value is higher than that.

This patch tweaks the detection function to behave as described by the
kernel docs:
