perf_cpu_map__merge will reuse one of its arguments if they are equal or the other argument is NULL. The arguments could be reused if it is known one set of values is a subset of the other. For example, a map of 0-1 and a map of just 0 when merged yields the map of 0-1. Currently a new map is created rather than adding a reference count to the original 0-1 map.
