PATCH 1/1 perf kvm: use strtol for walking guestmount directory

Only want to process directories under the guestmnount directory that have a pid as a name (ie, all digits). Other entries in the guestmount directory should be ignored. There is already a check that requires the first character of each entry to be a digit, but atoi is used to convert the directory name to a pid. For example if guestmount contains a directory with the name 1foo, atoi converts it to a pid of 1 and a machine is created with a pid of 1. This is wrong; this directory really should be ignored. Use strtol to do that.
