tests/get_cpu_location: disable an assert on process-wide cpu-location when there are unexpected threads

qemu-user led us to add an env-var to disable some checks
(see commit de60938).

The actual problem is an expected threads in a process (launched by qemu-user).
Detect such cases on Linux by looking in /proc/self/task/ and auto-disable those asserts.
The env-var is still available for now, may be useful later if the same problem ever
occurs on !Linux.

Thanks to Ludovic Courtes for the help.
