[PATCH v3 4/5] perf evlist: Respect all_cpus when setting user_requested_cpus

If all_cpus is calculated it represents the merge/union of all
evsel cpu maps. By default user_requested_cpus is computed to be
the online CPUs. For uncore events, it is often the case currently
that all_cpus is a subset of user_requested_cpus. Metrics printed
without aggregation and with metric-only, in print_no_aggr_metric,
iterate over user_requested_cpus assuming every CPU has a metric to
print. For each CPU the prefix is printed, but then if the
evsel's cpus doesn't contain anything you get an empty line like
the following on a 2 socket 36 core SkylakeX:
```
$ perf stat -A -M DRAM_BW_Use -a --metric-only -I 1000
1.000453137 CPU0 0.00
1.000453137

1.000453137
1.000453137
2.003717143 CPU0 0.00
...
```
While it is possible to be lazier in printing the prefix and
trailing newline, having user_requested_cpus not be a subset of
all_cpus is preferential so that wasted work isn't done elsewhere
user_requested_cpus is used. The change modifies user_requested_cpus
to be the intersection of user specified CPUs, or default all online
CPUs, with the CPUs computed through the merge of all evsel cpu maps.
New behavior:
```
$ perf stat -A -M DRAM_BW_Use -a --metric-only -I 1000
1.001086325 CPU0 0.00
1.001086325 CPU18 0.00
2.003671291 CPU0 0.00
2.003671291 CPU18 0.00
...
```
