[PATCH 2/2] perf stat: Unbreak perf stat with armv8_pmu events

After the segfault is fixed, perf-stat with armv8_pmu events with a
workload is still broken:
[root at localhost hulk]# tools/perf/perf stat -e armv8_pmuv3_0/ll_cache_rd/,armv8_pmuv3_0/ll_cache_miss_rd/ ls > /dev/null
Performance counter stats for 'ls':
<not counted> armv8_pmuv3_0/ll_cache_rd/ (0.00%)
<not counted> armv8_pmuv3_0/ll_cache_miss_rd/ (0.00%)
0.002052670 seconds time elapsed
0.000000000 seconds user
0.002086000 seconds sys
In fact, while the event will be opened per-thread,
create_perf_stat_counter() is called as many times as the count of cpu
in the evlist's cpumap, and lost all the file descriptors except the
last one. If this counter is not scheduled during the period of time,
it will be "not counted".
Add the process to don't open the needless events in such situation.
Fixes: 4804e0111662 ("perf stat: Use affinity for opening events")
