perf pmus: Check if we can encode the PMU number in perf_event_attr.type

Browse source

In some architectures we can't encode the PMU number in
perf_event_attr.type and thus can't just ask for the same event in
multiple CPUs (and thus PMUs), that is what we want in hybrid systems
but we can't when that encoding isn't understood by the kernel, such as
in ARM64's big.LITTLE.

If that is the case, fallback to the previous behaviour till we find a
better solution to have consistent output accross architectures with
hybrid CPU configurations.
