[PATCH] perf tools: handle TOPOLOGY headers with no CPU

[Stephane Eranian]

This patch fixes an issue in cpumap.c when used with the
TOPOLOGY header. In some configurations, some NUMA nodes may
have no CPU (empty cpulist). Yet a cpumap map must be created
otherwise perf abort with an error. This patch handles this
case by creating a dummy map.

Before:
$ perf record -o - -e cycles noploop 2 | perf script -i -
0x6e8 [0x6c]: failed to process type: 80

After:
$ perf record -o - -e cycles noploop 2 | perf script -i -
noploop for 2 seconds
