Per-package perf events are typically registered with a single CPU only,
however they can be read across all the CPUs within the package.
Currently perf_event_read maps the event CPU according to the topology
information to avoid an unnecessary SMP call, however
perf_event_read_local deals with hard values and rejects a read with a
failure if the CPU is not the one exactly registered. Allow similar
mapping within the perf_event_read_local if the perf event in question
can support this.
This allows users like BPF code to read the package perf events properly
across different CPUs within a package.
