cpupower: Fix checks for CPU existence

Calls to cpufreq_cpu_exists(cpu) were converted to
cpupower_is_cpu_online(cpu) when libcpupower was introduced and the
former function was deleted.  However, cpupower_is_cpu_online()
returns 1 on success whereas cpufreq_cpu_exists() returned 0 on
success.  It also does not distinguish physically absent and offline
CPUs, and does not set errno.

cpufreq-set has already been fixed (commit c25badc9ceb6).

In cpufreq-bench, which prints an error message for offline CPUs,
properly distinguish and report the zero and negative cases.
