perf cpumap: Add reference count checking

Enabled when REFCNT_CHECKING is defined. The change adds a memory
allocated pointer that is interposed between the reference counted cpu
map at a get and freed by a put. The pointer replaces the original
perf_cpu_map struct, so use of the perf_cpu_map via APIs remains
unchanged. Any use of the cpu map without the API requires two versions,
handled via the RC_CHK_ACCESS macro.

This change is intended to catch:

 - use after put: using a cpumap after you have put it will cause a
   segv.
 - unbalanced puts: two puts for a get will result in a double free
   that can be captured and reported by tools like address sanitizer,
   including with the associated stack traces of allocation and frees.
 - missing puts: if a put is missing then the get turns into a memory
   leak that can be reported by leak sanitizer, including the stack
   trace at the point the get occurs.
