extract locality info from /proc/cpuinfo instead of sysfs
Summary: Cache locality information under /sys is dispersed across a very large number of files. This is a problem for short-lived processes due to direct overheads and lock contention in the kernel. This diff switches to a heuristic strategy that infers the interference pattern from /proc/cpuinfo instead of computing it exactly. This doesn't necessarily produce exactly the correct cache hierarchy info, but it yields the correct topological sort for machines that have only core-local and socket-local cache locality.
