Subject: [PATCH v1] perf bpf_counter: Fix opening of "any"(-1) CPU events

The bperf BPF counter code doesn't handle "any"(-1) CPU events, always
wanting to aggregate a count against a CPU, which avoids the need for
atomics. Force evsels used for BPF counters to require a CPU when not
in system-wide mode so that the "any"(-1) value isn't used during map
propagation and evsel's CPU map matches that of the PMU.

Fixes: b91917c0c6fa ("perf bpf_counter: Fix handling of cpumap fixing hybrid")
