perf stat: Balance opening and reading events 

In create_perf_stat_counter, when a target CPU has not been provided, we
call __perf_evsel__open with empty_cpu_map, and open a single FD per
thread. However, in read_counter we assume that we opened events for the
product of threads and CPUs described in the evsel's cpu_map.

Thus, if an evsel has a cpu_map with more than one entry, we will
attempt to access FDs that we didn't open. This could result in a number
of problems (e.g. blocking while reading from STDIN if the fd memory
happened to be initialised to zero).

This is problematic for systems were a logical CPU PMU covers some
arbitrary subset of CPUs. The cpu_map of any evsel for that PMU will be
initialised based on the cpumask exposed through sysfs, even if the user
requests per-thread events.
