perf record: Add an option to force per-cpu mmaps
By default, when tasks are specified (i.e. -p, -t or -u options)
per-thread mmaps are created.
Add an option to override that and force per-cpu mmaps.
Further comments by peterz:
So this option allows -t/-p/-u to create one buffer per cpu and attach
all the various thread/process/user tasks' their counters to that one
buffer?
As opposed to the current state where each such counter would have its
own buffer.

+Force the use of per-cpu mmaps. By default, when tasks are specified (i.e. -p,
+-t or -u options) per-thread mmaps are created. This option overrides that and
+forces per-cpu mmaps. A side-effect of that is that inheritance is
