[PATCH] cpupower: Fix segfault due to incorrect getopt_long arugments

From: Josh Boyer
Date: Fri Oct 11 2013 - 08:46:07 EST


If a user calls 'cpupower set --perf-bias 15', the process will end with a
SIGSEGV in libc because cpupower-set passes a NULL optarg to the atoi call.
This is because the getopt_long structure currently has all of the options
as having an optional_argument when they really have a required argument.
We change the structure to use required_argument to match the short options
and it resolves the issue.

This fixes https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1000439
