Subject: [PATCH v2 0/3] perf cpumap: Refactor perf_cpu_map__merge()

perf_cpu_map__merge() has two arguments, 'orig' and 'other'.  The
function definition might cause confusion as it could give
the impression that the CPU maps in the two arguments are copied into a
new allocated structure, which is then returned as the result.

This patch series refactors perf_cpu_map__merge(), makes that the first
argument 'orig' as a pointer to pointer, the merged result will be
updated into 'orig' rather than returning a pointer.  This can be clear
for the semantics that it merges 'other' into 'orig'.

The perf test has been updated for covering more cases for CPU map
merging.  Tested result is:

  # ./perf test 41
   41: CPU map                            :
   41.1: Synthesize cpu map               : Ok
   41.2: Print cpu map                    : Ok
   41.3: Merge cpu map                    : Ok
   41.4: Intersect cpu map                : Ok
   41.5: Equal cpu map                    : Ok
