avoid out-of-bounds read after invalid %cpu conversion
In the case where no CPU number is given, skipping a character of padding actually skips the null terminator, causing further iterations through the loop to read out of bounds. Have sscanf() return the number of characters read, instead of reconstructing it from the CPU number. This was observed as a failure in test 024-cpu-usage-invalid-cpu.
