perf stat: Fix out of bounds CPU map access when handling armv8_pmu events
[ Upstream commit bef69bd7cfc363ab94b84ea29102f3e913ed3c6c ]
It was reported that 'perf stat' crashed when using with armv8_pmu (CPU)
events with the task mode. As 'perf stat' uses an empty cpu map for
task mode but armv8_pmu has its own cpu mask, it has confused which map
it should use when accessing file descriptors and this causes segfaults:
(gdb) bt

cpu=<optimized out>) at evsel.c:122

argv=<synthetic pointer>) at perf.c:408
#9 main (argc=4, argv=0xfffffaea2f90) at perf.c:538
To fix this, I simply used the given cpu map unless the evsel actually
is not a system-wide event (like uncore events).
