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

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
