Actually, pretty much none of the API checks this.
perf_evsel__run_ioctl(), perf_evsel__enable(), perf_evsel__disable(),
perf_evsel__read() will all just deference evsel->fd. So fix all of
these or follow existing behavior?

Right, perf_evsel has cpus and threads pointers which in turn have the
sizes, but those pointers are not set within the evsel code.

NM, I missed that they are static...
