scripts/kvm/kvm_stat: Set sensible no. files rlimit
As num cpus * 1000 is NOT a sensible rlimit, we need to calculate a more accurate rlimit. The number of open files is directly dependent on the cpu count and on the number of trace points per cpu. A additional constant works as a buffer for files that are needed by python or do get opened when the script runs. Hence we have: cpus * traces + constant Reviewed-by: Jason J.
