In systems with heterogeneous CPUs, there are multiple logical CPU PMUs,
each of which covers a subset of CPUs in the system. In some cases
userspace needs to know which CPUs a given logical PMU covers, so we'd
like to expose a cpumask under sysfs, similar to what is done for uncore
PMUs.

Unfortunately, prior to commit 00e727bb389359c8 ("perf stat: Balance
opening and reading events"), perf stat only correctly handled a cpumask
holding a single CPU, and only when profiling in system-wide mode. In
other cases, the presence of a cpumask file could cause perf stat to
behave erratically.

Thus, exposing a cpumask file would break older perf binaries in cases
where they would otherwise work.

To avoid this issue while still providing userspace with the information
it needs, this patch exposes a differently-named file (cpus) under
sysfs. New tools can look for this and operate correctly, while older
tools will not be adversely affected by its presence.
