perf pmus: Check if we can encode the PMU number in perf_event_attr.type
In some architectures we can't encode the PMU number in perf_event_attr.type and thus can't just ask for the same event in multiple CPUs (and thus PMUs), that is what we want in hybrid systems but we can't when that encoding isn't understood by the kernel, such as in ARM64's big.LITTLE. If that is the case, fallback to the previous behaviour till we find a better solution to have consistent output accross architectures with hybrid CPU configurations.
