[PATCH] Fix getdelays.c - cpumask length and error reporting

Fix the length passed while (un)registering cpumask.  We were passing sizeof
the array, make it strlen().

Error value printed in fatal errors should be derived from the message.  The
message contains an nlmsgerr embedded with an error value.  We must report
that value to the user.
