[PATCH v6 07/12] perf stat: Use affinity for closing file descriptors

[Andi Kleen]

From: Andi Kleen <ak@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Closing a perf fd can also trigger an IPI to the target CPU.
Use the same affinity technique as we use for reading/enabling events
to closing to optimize the CPU transitions.

Before on a large test case with 94 CPUs:

% time     seconds  usecs/call     calls    errors syscall
------ ----------- ----------- --------- --------- ----------------
 32.56    3.085463          50     61483           close

After:

 10.54    0.735704          11     61485           close

Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
