[PATCH v1 2/3] perf arm-spe: Correct sample flags for dummy event

[Leo Yan]

The dummy event is mainly used for mmap, the TIME sample is only needed
for per-cpu case so that the perf tool can rely on the correct timing
for parsing symbols.  And the CPU sample is useless for mmap.

This patch enables TIME sample for per-cpu mmap and doesn't enable CPU
sample.  For later extension (e.g. support multiple AUX events), it sets
the dummy event when the condition "opts->full_auxtrace" is true.
