Subject: [PATCH] perf: Align cpu map events properly.

The size of the resulting cpu map can be smaller than a multiple
of sizeof(u64), resulting in SIGBUS on cpus like Sparc as the
next event will not be aligned properly.

Fixes: 6c872901af07 ("perf cpu_map: Add cpu_map event synthesize function")
