I think the problem is that armv8_pmu has a cpumask,
and the user requested per-task events.

The code tried to open the event with a dummy cpu map
since it's not a cpu event, but the pmu has cpu map and
it's passed to evsel.  So there's confusion somewhere
whether it should use evsel->cpus or a dummy map.

Thanks
