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() 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.
Fixes: ac5a181d065d ("cpupower: Add cpuidle parts into library")
Fixes: 53d1cd6b125f ("cpupowerutils: bench - Fix cpu online check")

Keep in the patch the distinction and report for the zero and
negative cases.]
