After applying the patch below and removing the check, I got:

namhyung@sejong:perf$ sudo ./perf top -C0 -u namhyung -s cpu,dso,sym --stdio


PerfTop: 5 irqs/sec kernel:100.0% exact: 0.0% [1000Hz cycles], (uid: namhyung, CPU: 0)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

91.67% 1 [kernel] [k] dequeue_entity
7.25% 5 [kernel] [k] schedule_hrtimeout_range
1.01% 1 [kernel] [k] __perf_event_task_sched
0.06% 5 [kernel] [k] native_write_msr_safe
0.01% 1 [kernel] [k] native_write_msr_safe
Failed to open /tmp/perf-1340.map, continuing without symbols


So definitely it needs more work...

Thanks,
Namhyung
