libperf cpumap: Refactor perf_cpu_map__merge()

Browse source 
The perf_cpu_map__merge() function 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.

The purpose of the function is to merge the CPU map 'other' into the CPU
map 'orig'.  This commit changes the 'orig' argument to a pointer to
pointer, so the new result will be updated into 'orig'.

The return value is changed to an int type, as an error number or 0 for
success.

Update callers and tests for the new function definition.
