Subject: [PATCH 1/2] perf/x86/cstate: Allow reading the package statistics from local CPU

The MSR registers for reading the package residency counters are
available on every CPU of the package. To avoid doing unnecessary SMP
calls to read the values for these from the various CPUs inside a
package, allow reading them from any CPU of the package.
