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
