So I really don't think intersect() shouldn't modify the contents of any
of its arguments, at most return one of them with a bumped refcount, as
an optimization.

The merge() operation is different in the sense that one expects that
one of the operands will be inserted into the other, and even then it
would be better to have a clearer semantic, i.e. merge(a, b) should mean
get the contents of b and insert into a.

Since we're talking about CPUs, it doesn't make sense to have a CPU
multiple times in the cpu_map, so we eliminate duplicates while doing
it.

Also perhaps the merge() operation should not even change any of the
operands, but instead return a new cpuset if one of the operands isn't
contained in the other, in which case a bump in the reference count of
the superset would be a valid optimization.

But that boat has departed already, i.e. perf_cpu_map__merge() is
already an exported libperf API, sigh.

This is something we're exporting, so I think this warrants further
discussion, even with a fix depending on the merge of this new API.
