[PATCH v2 2/4] tools/perf: Fix perf bench epoll to correct usage of affinity for machines with #CPUs > 1K

[Athira Rajeev]

perf bench epoll testcase fails on systems with CPU's
more than 1K.

Testcase: perf bench epoll all
Result snippet:
<<>>
Run summary [PID 106497]: 1399 threads monitoring on 64 file-descriptors for 8 secs.

perf: pthread_create: No such file or directory
<<>>

In epoll benchmarks (ctl, wait) pthread_create is invoked in do_threads
from respective bench_epoll_*  function. Though the logs shows direct
failure from pthread_create, the actual failure is from  "sched_setaffinity"
returning EINVAL (invalid argument). This happens because the default
mask size in glibc is 1024. To overcome this 1024 CPUs mask size
limitation of cpu_set_t, change the mask size using the CPU_*_S macros.

Patch addresses this by fixing all the epoll benchmarks to use
CPU_ALLOC to allocate cpumask, CPU_ALLOC_SIZE for size, and
CPU_SET_S to set the mask.
