perf trace: Sample the CPU too

Sample, record, parse and print the CPU field - it had all zeroes before.

Before (watch the second column, the CPU values):

perf-32685 [000] 0.000000: sched_wakeup_new: task perf:32686 [120] success=1 [011]
perf-32685 [000] 0.000000: sched_migrate_task: task perf:32685 [120] from: 1 to: 11

true-32686 [000] 0.000000: sched_stat_sleep: task: distccd:12793 sleep: 131724 [ns]

After:

perf-32685 [001] 0.000000: sched_migrate_task: task perf:32685 [120] from: 1 to: 11

true-32686 [015] 0.000000: sched_process_exit: task true:32686 [120]
true-32686 [015] 0.000000: sched_stat_wait: task: distccd:12793 wait: 6767985949080 [ns]
true-32686 [015] 0.000000: sched_stat_wait: task: distccd:12793 wait: 6767986139446 [ns]
true-32686 [015] 0.000000: sched_stat_sleep: task: distccd:12793 sleep: 132844 [ns]
true-32686 [015] 0.000000: sched_stat_sleep: task: distccd:12793 sleep: 131724 [ns]

So we can now see how this workload migrated between CPUs.
