perf evlist: Fix per thread mmap setup
The PERF_EVENT_IOC_SET_OUTPUT ioctl was returning -EINVAL when using
--pid when monitoring multithreaded apps, as we can only share a ring
buffer for events on the same thread if not doing per cpu.
Fix it by using per thread ring buffers.
Tested with:
[root@felicio ~]# tuna -t 26131 -CP | nl
1 thread ctxt_switches
2 pid SCHED_ rtpri affinity voluntary nonvoluntary cmd

So 11 threads under pid 26131, then:

11 mmaps, one per thread since we didn't specify any CPU list, so we need one
mmap per thread and:
[root@felicio ~]# perf record -F 50000 --pid 26131
^M
^C[ perf record: Woken up 79 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 20.614 MB perf.data (~900639 samples) ]

Ok, one of the threads, 26151 was quiescent, so no samples there, but all the
others are there.
Then, if I specify one CPU:
[root@felicio ~]# perf record -F 50000 --pid 26131 --cpu 1
^C[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.680 MB perf.data (~29730 samples) ]

This machine has two cores, so fewer threads appeared on the radar, and:
[root@felicio ~]# grep perf_event /proc/`pidof perf`/maps | nl
1 7f484b922000-7f484b9a3000 rwxs 00000000 00:09 4064 anon_inode:[perf_event]
[root@felicio ~]#
Just one mmap, as now we can use just one per-cpu buffer instead of the
per-thread needed in the previous case.
For global profiling:
[root@felicio ~]# perf record -F 50000 -a
^C[ perf record: Woken up 26 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 7.128 MB perf.data (~311412 samples) ]
[root@felicio ~]# grep perf_event /proc/`pidof perf`/maps | nl
1 7fb49b435000-7fb49b4b6000 rwxs 00000000 00:09 4064 anon_inode:[perf_event]

[root@felicio ~]#
It uses per-cpu buffers.
For just one thread:
[root@felicio ~]# perf record -F 50000 --tid 26148
^C[ perf record: Woken up 2 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.330 MB perf.data (~14426 samples) ]
