perf evsel: Store ids for events with their own cpus perf_event__synthesize_event_update_cpus

John reported crash when recording on an event under PMU with cpumask defined:

root@localhost:~# ./perf_debug_ record -e armv8_pmuv3_0/br_mis_pred/ sleep 1
perf: Segmentation fault
Obtained 9 stack frames.
./perf_debug_() [0x4c5ef8]
[0xffff82ba267c]
./perf_debug_() [0x4bc5a8]
./perf_debug_() [0x419550]
./perf_debug_() [0x41a928]

/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xe0) [0xffff8294c8a0]
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

We synthesize an update event that needs to touch the evsel id array, which is
not defined at that time. Fixing this by forcing the id allocation for events
with their own cpus.
