perf evlist: Fix per thread mmap setup
The PERF_EVENT_IOC_SET_OUTPUT ioctl was returning -EINVAL when using
--pid when monitoring multithreaded apps, as we can only share a ring
buffer for events on the same thread if not doing per cpu.
Fix it by using per thread ring buffers.
Tested with:

11 mmaps, one per thread since we didn't specify any CPU list, so we need one

Ok, one of the threads, 26151 was quiescent, so no samples there, but all the
others are there.
Then, if I specify one CPU:
[root@felicio ~]# perf record -F 50000 --pid 26131 --cpu 1

[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.680 MB perf.data (~29730 samples) ]

This machine has two cores, so fewer threads appeared on the radar, and:
[root@felicio ~]# grep perf_event /proc/`pidof perf`/maps | nl
1 7f484b922000-7f484b9a3000 rwxs 00000000 00:09 4064 anon_inode:[perf_event]
[root@felicio ~]#
Just one mmap, as now we can use just one per-cpu buffer instead of the
per-thread needed in the previous case.
For global profiling:
[root@felicio ~]# perf record -F 50000 -a
^C[ perf record: Woken up 26 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 7.128 MB perf.data (~311412 samples) ]

It uses per-cpu buffers.
For just one thread:
[root@felicio ~]# perf record -F 50000 --tid 26148
