Subject: [PATCH] perf: Fix topology_sibling_cpumask check warning on ARM

From: Kan Liang <kan.liang@...ux.intel.com>

The below warning is triggered when building with arm
multi_v7_defconfig.

kernel/events/core.c: In function 'perf_event_setup_cpumask':
kernel/events/core.c:14012:13: warning: the comparison will always
evaluate as 'true' for the address of 'thread_sibling' will never be
NULL [-Waddress]
14012 |         if (!topology_sibling_cpumask(cpu)) {

The perf_event_init_cpu() may be invoked at the early boot stage, while
the topology_*_cpumask hasn't been initialized yet. The check is to
specially handle the case, and initialize the perf_online_<domain>_masks
on the boot CPU.
X86 uses a per-cpu cpumask pointer, which could be NULL at the early
boot stage. However, ARM uses a global variable, which never be NULL.

Use perf_online_mask as an indicator instead. Only initialize the
perf_online_<domain>_masks when perf_online_mask is empty.

Fix a typo as well.
